Ireland: Cocaine Seizure at Port of Foynes Sparks Arrests in Co Limerick

Irish police (Garda) confirmed that six men were arrested in connection with the seizure of a €21 million cocaine shipment in County Limerick four days ago.

Six men, aged 32 to 50, have since been apprehended in Co Limerick and are being held in custody at local garda stations.

The arrests are directly linked to the intercepted cocaine shipment, with ongoing searches conducted on the Maltese-registered vessel.

This incident sheds light on the persistent challenge of drug trafficking in Ireland, underscoring law enforcement’s vigilant efforts to address the issue.
