Cork stowaways withdraw asylum application
The four Moroccans who were at the centre of a major search of Cork Harbour earlier this week are withdrawing their applications for asylum.
They are to be held in the training unit at Dublin's Mountjoy prison while arrangements are made to send them home.
The four were stowaways on a ship, which docked in Cork Harbour earlier this week - but an alert was sparked when the men disappeared before the ship berthed.
It was feared they had jumped ship but they were later discovered in the engine room of the vessel.
