Preasócáid
D’fhoghlaim muid eolas nua faoin ócáid sa Mhuir Cheilteach le déanaí.
Ar dtús cheap daoine gur oibríocht tarrthála a bhí ann.
Ní raibh sí.
De réir ailt a bhaineann le Nuacht RTÉ
Ag preasócáid ar maidin inniu, dúirt Justin Kelly gur 2.2 tonna de chócaon a fuarthas ar an MV Matthew.
Ba mhó de réir meáchain a fuarthas riamh sa Stát é.
Meastar gur €157 mhilliún ar fad an luach.
Creideann na Gardaí gur le cairtéal drugaí as Meiriceá Theas an cócaon ach níl mórán eile ráite acu faoin gcuid sin den scéal fós.
Molann muid na gardaí as an oibríocht seo.
Tá na drugaí seo contúirteach do gach duine.

According to an article relating to RTÉ News:
Ag preasócáid ar maidin inniu, dúirt Justin Kelly gur 2.2 tonna de chócaon a fuarthas ar an MV Matthew.
At a press conference this morning, Justin Kelly said that 2.2 tons of cocaine were found on the MV Matthew.
Ba mhó de réir meáchain a fuarthas riamh sa Stát é.
It was the largest by weight ever found in the State.
Meastar gur €157 mhilliún ar fad an luach.
It is estimated that the total value is €157 million.
Creideann na Gardaí gur le cairtéal drugaí as Meiriceá Theas an cócaon ach níl mórán eile ráite acu faoin gcuid sin den scéal fós.
The Gardaí believe that the cocaine belongs to a drug cartel from South America but they haven’t said much else about that part of the story yet.
Molann muid na gardaí as an oibríocht seo.
We applaud the gardaí for this operation.
Tá na drugaí seo contúirteach do gach duine.
These drugs are dangerous for everyone.
