Six men and one male juvenile discovered hidden in a truck trailer at Rosslare Europort around 6am this morning (Friday) was detained by Gardaí for alleged immigration offences.
They received medical attention at Wexford Garda Station and all were deemed to be safe and well.
The six men were refused leave to land and are now expected to leave the jurisdiction tonight on a return ferry to the country they arrived from.
The juvenile is currently in the care of Tusla’s Unaccompanied Minors Unit.
Gardaí said investigations are ongoing alongside the relevant international stakeholders.
Last January 14 people-nine men, three women and two young girls- were discovered hidden in a refrigerated trailer at Rosslare Europort and arrested for alleged immigration offences.
They were later released, and a man was arrested later in connection to a human trafficking investigation. He was later released.
