14 people have been brought to hospital after being discovered inside a trailer at Rosslare Europort yesterday.

9 men, 3 women and 2 children arrived into the port inside a refrigerated container in the early hours of Monday morning after boarding a ferry from France.

Officials made the discovery after one of the people inside the trailer informed UK police of their presence.

Gardaí escorted the suspected migrants to hospital where they were assessed by medical personnel.

They were then brought to City West in Dublin for "processing" and investigations are ongoing.
