Gardaí in New Ross are appealing for the public's assistance in locating a 31-year-old man.

A woman and two men were being questioned over the seizure of €180,000 worth of cocaine and cannabis, gardaí said tonight.

A woman in her forties and her young daughter have been killed in a house fire in Co Wexford.

Gardaí have seized cannabis with a street value of €250,000 in Wexford, it emerged today.

THE State has still to decide if the owner of a vessel which sank a year ago, claiming five lives, will be prosecuted — nine months after gardaí submitted an extensive file on the tragedy.
