Navy Ends Search For Cannabis
The Irish Navy has completed its search of an area off the coast of Co. Galway where bales of cannabis were discovered at the weekend.
The LE Aisling spent Wednesday searching the area, using special sonar equipment to scan the seabed around 70 nautical miles west of Slyne Head.
Fishermen discovered eleven kilos of the drug as they fished 50km out to sea on Friday and Gardai and Customs were alerted.
The same trawler discovered three more packages the following day.
Gardai believe that the drugs may have been dumped from a ship that got into difficulties in the area ten years ago.
