Border Search For Immigrants

News has only emerged of a search operation carried out last week, by the Garda Immigration Control Unit, over the north Louth area, and the exact details of the incident are sketchy.

They were assisted on the south Armagh side of the border by the PSNI, in a search for a group of foreign nationals who fled from a container after it was delivered to a premises in " South Armagh", presumably the Newry/Carrickarnon area, since one of the men was later apprehended in the vicinity of the Carrickdale Hotel. The other five have not yet been found.

It has already been established that the six were given access to the container in the busy port of Zeebrugge in Belgium, by someone engaged in the activity who was presumably paid,by the men for his services.

The ship, on which the container travelled, first docked in Waterford before sailing on to Warrenpoint, where it was off-loaded and later delivered 'somewhere' in the Newry area.
