The three British men charged in connection with a €500 million cocaine seizure off the coast of West Cork have been remanded in continuing custody after Thursday's court appearance.

The €500 million cocaine seizure, one of the biggest in Ireland's history, was performed by Navy, Gardai and Customs officials in a joint operation off the west Cork coast last week.
All three men are facing charges that on November 5th they were in possession of cocaine intended for import on the vessel Dances with Waves, a boat not registered in any country or territory.
Judge James McNulty granted the continuing remand in custody after an application from Inspector Brendan Fogarty.
Mr Doo from Brixham, Devon, Mr Mufford from Torquay, Devon and Mr Wiggins with an address at Estepona, Malaga, Spain are due to appear again at Schull District Court on November 27th.
