Dunc Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Cocaine worth an estimated 406m has been seized by the Irish authorities from a yacht 200 miles off the southwest coast of Ireland. One-and-a-half tonnes of the drug were found on a 60-foot yacht taken into custody on Wednesday night. Two British men and a man from Dublin, all aged between 44 and 52, have been arrested in connection with the find. The boat is being brought to shore in Cork under guard by the Irish navy. The haul is one of the largest drugs seizures in Europe this year and is expected to eclipse last year's record find off County Cork. The Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea has congratulated the Naval Service on the success of this operation. "It is a timely reminder to us all of the dangers the Naval Service confronts in the assistance it gives to the garda and Customs Assets in respect of drug interdiction," he said. "It is also clear evidence that Ireland has a Naval Service that is a multi-skilled, highly-trained force."
