It is not the practice for Ministers for Justice to make statements to the House about specific Garda investigations except in singular instances where the circumstances are so exceptional that such a course is deemed appropriate. In this case I propose only to say that the Garda authorities have informed me that a kilogramme of cocaine with an estimated street value of £500,000 was found on the shore at Boatport, Keel, Achill earlier this year and that Garda investigations are continuing in the matter.
