Garda testifies at €440,000 cocaine trial

An abandoned RIB-type boat was found at a pier in West Cork the day after the biggest drugs seizure in the history of the state in another bay in the area, one of the central investigating officers testified today on the seventh day of the trial.

Detective Sergeant Fergal Foley testified that at the time that the emergency services arrived to see a sunken RIB, approximately 50 bails floating near it and a man wearing a life jacket in the sea, one eye witness saw another RIB travelling out to sea from the particular area at Dunlough Bay.
