Delightful story line from the Daily Mail I must say, I live in Kerry so I hope it doesn't end up here; Cork or Donegal would be most likely. Imagine a new breed of Cannibal Rats.

hard to believe this vessel was just set loose if it has a 600k scrappage value, ship looks in good nick as well

Boombastic

At least when they land they'll be among friends

JohnFalstaff

Well if they're cannibals we've nothing to worry about as they'll most likely devour each other before they reach our shores.

Seriously, who writes this stuff? And don't they at least look up the meaning of the word cannibalism before they print?

'We don’t want rats from foreign ships coming onto Irish soil. If it came and broke up on shore, I’m sure local people wouldn’t be very happy about it.’
Racist! Or is that rattist?

dodderangler

I for one welcome our new cannibal rat overlords

Rabelais

I'm concerned. I've arrived over from posting comments on the Guardian to discuss this latest provocative and lurid headline from the Daily Mail. My online outrage balance is all over the place!

The tow line snapped in rough seas.

the towing op would cost close to that to run a sea going tug I'd imagine, not worth the expense for no return.

Nuke it,we've enough dirty rats in this country

I hope it arrives in Kerry and seeks out and eat that eejit Daithi o Shea

Straighten yourself out quick sharp...you'd be an easy meal for them :pac:

Kilgore__Trout

What a headline. The Daily Mail is so ridiculous it's become a parody of itself.

JohnFalstaff

If they were R.O.U.S's, then I'd be worried.

Disease ridden rats. Opposed to the clean ones we have here?

Richard Hillman

Are they Rats that became Cannibals or are they Cannibals that became Rats?

Rothmans

We don’t want rats from foreign ships coming onto Irish soil. If it came and broke up on shore, I’m sure local people wouldn’t be very happy about it

Our hard-working indigenous rats could be put out of the job.

GopErthike

But, if it was a year ago it went missing, there will be only one rat???

crockholm

Fear not,I recently informed some entreprenureial salvage engineers about 600 tonnes of scrap metal floating in the North Atlantic,now they're gone off all "Hunt for Red October".
Said they'd do a good deal on my driveway as a finders fee.

Only the Daily Mail could do a story about a ship full of rats adrift at sea and still get a little xenophobia in there.

enfant terrible

Read title as Cannibas rats, was confused reading article

Christ that's gas, if it's in the daily mail it must be true, some people will believe any auld sh1te.

Well, they could sail her up the Shannon, turn right into the Deel, then onto home where they'd cut her up and sell her to the breakers yard in Tournafulla. And with all the radioactive gear on board ........ the rats' eye teeth may have turned into ivory tusks. A win win situation for those purveyors of all things dodgy.
Best of luck with the driveway!

Arah lads, what's the panic? Sure there's only going to be two of 'em! Haven't the movies taught you anything?

So only two rats left that eat rat. Rat problem solved.

Neither, they're the offspring of The Fine Young Cannibals.

If the boat comes ashore near a large population settlement, and the ship explodes, I can see the headline ' Boom! Town Rats!

I'll grab my overalls....

Screw the rats, This is a ghost ship, I'm worried about the feckin Ghosts!

And now I feel dirty for clicking on that link.

The Daily mail know how ****ty this article is, they're trolling the internet and every time someone clicks their links, they get more food.

That isn't a recent picture.

It was cut adrift nearly a year ago, the rats had nothing to eat but each other, yet the expect there to be thousands of them left? How many rats did this ship start out with? Millions???

Rats breed like crazy, they have amazing survival skills.

Not if all they have to eat is each other.

There's actually a great horror story and radio play (IMHO) based on that premise:

That's what they meant...
Likely to have hundreds of diseased rats with only each other for food

Good target practice for the Aer Corps
Then send the bill to the Canadians for fecking it into the sea

Queen-Mise

I read the title of that article as being cannabis rats and all I was imagining a couple of thousand very stoned rats cruising around the Atlantic.



*going back into box now ;(

cml387

Is it not more likely that the rats have evolved to the point where they can now sail the ship.

I'd be very wary of any "cheap" cruise deals this summer.Just sayin'

Target practice? How and with what? They could always play see who gets closest by lobbing the crusts of their Freshways chicken and stuffing sambos out the window I suppose.

conorhal

I just assumed that this was some kind of sequel to 'Snakes on a Plane', no?

Probably from their rockets and heavy machine guns I'd say.... Would be great craic getting a few runs at the ship!

Jester252

The ship could make someone very rich.

Local-womanizer

It's sunk in the Atlantic according to Newstalk I'm away to put my rifle back, no zombie apocalypse this time....

Teyla Emmagan

Brilliant article. Sometimes I really admire the DM for the sh(te they come up with.

Has the makings of a great horror movie though - ghost ship, cannibal rats, crashes into Inis Mor, overwhelm the island, devour the inhabitants, establish rat kingdom, has to be taken out by both ships of the Irish Navy using fire throwers. Like something between a Stephen King and 'Grabbers'.

I would watch this.

Irishcrx

They lie in wait like wolves....waiting.....Eterrrrrnnnaaallllyyy waiting........................................................................and then....
