84m Cork cocaine haul
Gardai said they had seized the largest cocaine haul in the history of Ireland over the weekend.
The drugs, with a street value of up to pounds 84m, were found in a converted Norwegian trawler sheltering from heavy gales in a port in Cork, southern Ireland; the winds had forced the Sea Mist from its route between Venezuela and northern Europe. Four people are being held. Reuter - Dublin
