Treasure hunters searching for the valuable meteorite that fell somewhere in Ireland earlier this month are setting their sights on Galway.

Latest analysis suggests that it fell near Galway Bay, and not in the north-west as previously thought.

Over 200 people have contacted Astronomy Ireland with objects, which have turned out not to be the space rock.

Astronomy Ireland wants anyone who operates a security camera to check their tapes for 7.10am on the morning of February 12.

It could hold vital clues to the rock's exact location.
