Heroin seizure: Gardaí and Revenue trying to establish who is behind massive haul
The illegal drugs were discovered when a truck and low-loader trailer, arriving into Ireland from mainland Europe, was stopped and searched by Revenue officers.
Revenue and Gardaí are trying to establish who is behind what is thought to be by far the biggest ever seizure of heroin in Ireland, with 88kgs seized at Rosslare port.
Follow-up search operations have taken place in Britain, suggesting the prospect that a British gang or a British-Irish coalition of gangs may have been involved, possibly in conjunction with other European networks.
