    Huge cocaine seizure off southwest coast
    Thursday, 6 November 2008 20:45
    Gardaí, the Naval Service and Customs have seized a consignment of at least 1.5 tonnes of cocaine off the southwest coast.

    Three men between the ages of 44 and 52 have been detained by gardaí and the investigation is continuing.

    Gardaí say they found suspect packages of cocaine with an estimated street value of around €500m, which would exceed last year's record €440m seizure at Dunlough Bay in west Cork.

    The drugs were on a 60-foot yacht that was taken into custody around 200 miles off the southwest coast last night.

    The boat is being brought to shore in Cork under armed guard.

    The Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea has congratulated the Naval Service on the success of this operation.

    He said: 'It is a timely reminder to us all of the dangers the Naval Service confronts in the assistance it gives to the gardaí and Customs Assets in respect of drug interdiction.

    'It is also clear evidence that Ireland has a Naval Service that is a multi-skilled, highly-trained force.'

    The Justice Minister, Dermot Ahern, has also congratulated the Joint Drugs Task Force on the operation.

    Taoiseach Brian Cowen said: 'A massive drugs haul like this should not be seen just in terms of the hundreds of millions of euro of drugs seized, but also in terms of the lives saved and the misery avoided as a result.'
