Two men have been arrested following a massive drugs bust off the coast of Wexford.

It's after a boat ran aground and got stuck near Rosslare on Sunday night.

It's believed millions of euro worth of cocaine is involved, but the operation is ongoing so Gardaí haven't released any official details yet.

Crime and Security Editor with The Irish Times, Conor Lally outlines what is known:

"There was a surveillance operation underway because it was expected that the boat was carrying cocaine. It was being kept a close eye on and then hit a sand bank of black water at about half 11. So from that point onwards really there was a it was a cross between an surveillance operation and a rescue operation."
