Garda raid automated oil laundering plant
The plant, deep in the countryside close to the border, was one of the largest ever discovered in the State, with a potential to wash 150,000 litres of oil every day.
Customs officers moved in on the plant at Kilcurry, near Dundalk, around 6am yesterday. They discovered five large over-ground tanks with a total capacity of hundreds of thousands of litres of oil.
