Three Britons are being held after cannabis worth IR£15 million was
seized in a raid on a ship off the Co Cork coast.

Irish naval personnel and customs officers found one-a-half tonnes of
high-grade cannabis resin when they swooped on the British-registered
converted trawler near the Fastnet Rock.

Customs officials believe the 70ft vessel had travelled from North
Africa, and that its cargo was bound for Britain and the Continent.

They are making a detailed search of the ship after it was escorted to
Schull, Co Cork, by the Irish Naval Service. Three men are being
questioned by detectives in nearby Bandon.
