Army personnel did not confiscate the equipment involved. In response to a request from the Garda authorities, an Army team collected the equipment, which had been found off the coast at Dingle, County Kerry, and brought it to Collins Barracks, Cork, for examination. It was established that it was a submarine monitoring buoy the property of the US Navy. It was later collected by the American authorities.
