Ex-IRA men held after vodka hijack

Irish Justice Minister Michael McDowell tonight warned trust was being eroded after two former IRA men were arrested with another man following the hijacking of a lorry load of vodka in Co Meath.

The gang ambushed the driver near Dunshaughlin at 11am as the truck, laden with €300,000 worth of drink, made its way from Bailieboro to Dublin.
