- A €500 million cocaine haul on the Waterford Cork coast involving army rangers, customs, Gardai, the Naval Service and Air Corps.
The Kinahan cartel and Iranian links to Hezbollah form key parts of the investigation.
But what does the hidden haul on the mothership MV Matthew really tell us about the cocaine industry and what people are willing to do to transport it?
Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about high drama in Irish waters and those who have come a cropper before.

The west Cork coastline was a huge centre of piracy and smuggling in the 15 and 1600s before the golden age of piracy that we know in the Caribbean in the 1700s
as long as there are " illegal " products there will be problems ..the "drug war "can NOT be won..too many people at high levels are involved
Too much money to be made also.
Are you trying to tell us that there will be no 'gear' for Christmas?
I said, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white
Be plenty of gear what was seized and pardon the pun was just a drop in the ocean ha
@@user-nz5zc9kn2gThank you for pardoning the pun.
That was all the mocros dirt that was lying up since lockdowns hahaha it's full of mold 😂😂😂
Fascinating and amusing. Thanks both.
Great podcast guys. Love your work.
I must be living under a rock because I've never been offered cocaine
Do you want to buy some?

I once found a bag of Coke while walking my dog I sat down on a outdoor bench and it was in a empty crisp packet inside a empty can of beer, I went to throw the can in a bin when I noticed it, I thought it was rat poison so I brought it home and burned it. 3 weeks later I hear this story about how a kid working for a hard hitting guy owed a few grand because he was in charge of it. Turned out it was worth 6 grand I turned white I don’t bother with drugs felt sorry for the kid selling and it caused mayhem. That was over a decade ago .
@@jakethompson4596 thanks for ticking that box🙂
@@jakethompson4596 They should have a party at the Mansion House and send them all home with a goodie bag haha
Nearly every 20 - 30 kilometres all around the Irish coast are lighthouses, with living quarters, most became automated in the late 80s early nineties, however if Ireland are serious about securing our coast line, these could easily either manned up by our Army, naval or revenue, providing a network of eyes on our coastline , or we invest in the latest radar technology, long rage video surveillance, or high altitude balloons with these capabilities to pinpointing rogue cargo ships or the fleets of smaller boats operating as courtiers all along our coastline, by utilising the lighthouses would be a deterrent, as a state we are not interested in prevention, we’re only interested in dealing with the consequences or fallout from such trivialities.
Or maybe start jailing the white collar professional criminals i.e bankers, accountants, lawyers, judges, police brass, customs agents on the take etc... do that then watch the drug trade grind to a halt, it's these people that allow and facilitate the movement, sale and supply of drugs not just in Ireland but worldwide, most of the banks in America and Florida in particular are propped up with laundered drug money going back decades
The confiscated drugs are incinerated in industrial foundries along with weapons siezed which get melted down in furnaces,I worked in a foundry I have melted guns,swords knives personally and it is monitored continuously till its liquid metal.
Great time to be a confident person.
It took me quite some time to figure out what you meant by Karako hahaha Curacao...
Kurako ?
It's pronounced cure'ah'sow.
It's called coopering, when a mother ship comes in smaller and individual loads then placed on discreet local vessel. The Irish man brian the milkman Wright was a early pioneer in the uk/Ireland Region 30 years ago. He should be getting out of jail soon
It's also a rather nice liqueur, often used in cocktails! Probably originating from the same island.

Did I read some where that the Irish are the highest consumers of cocaine in Europe? I am open to contradiction on this as I am inquiring more so than stating. There are a lot of jokes in a good humored way about the Irish world wide and in the US that the Irish would rule the world if they didn't drink, the Paddy Wagon is a vehicle police use to arrest people in brawls, it supposedly was given the name because Paddy was an Irish name and it was mostly Irish they arrested. It is true the Irish are first over here with substance abuse problems, although a very proud race. Are we turning our behaviors
into a joke and making a laugh out of things from fear. Whether the Irish have the highest rate of cocaine use in the EU. or not we all know cocaine can be a deathly drug too. They need to advertise more treatment programs for cocaine users and in depth acknowledgement that it is and can be a killer drug. We mustn't allow the Irish use of cocaine to become a world wide joke too. Very serious. A terrible loss of life.
Happy days 👏….take that devils drug of the market.. destroying family’s and life’s… fecking hate that stuff … only a fool would put that stuff up their nose…
that’s coming from a person who fecking LOVED it ….
Same here mate I’m 46 now so was doing it late 90s-2000s but I detest the stuff now, it’s ruined the pubs for anyone older that’s not on it
Who is Richie Harris Nicola? Serious videos of him in Dubai in Daniel Kinehans circulating tonight and looks like he shot at Gardaí in 2019and nothing further in the media
How much for a submarine and what references do you need?
Cash only...
isn't there already a book called Cocaine Cowboys?
Documentary
If the courts used the mandatory minimum sentences there would be more of a deterrent
Knew it wouldn't take long before the Kinihans were mentioned 😂😂 The Mother Ship gets caught and loads of little boats with little gremlins like the ones you saw kill Scarface all come ashore all over Ireland like it was D-day with tonnes of the stuff, I shuld no met few at Dollymount with chief wigam😂😂😂
The kilos are rubber sealed that's why they float!
Why is she wearing a coo byre chain?
What kinda chain never heard that name before.
@@patkearney9320 a cow byre, for animals
No demand no supply ,as long as people are taking drugs you unfortunately will have drugtrafficers and drug dealers
Sumone opend there moths as usual 🐀🐀the garda just did not come a cross that out of the blue. As i sed they got information on it 💯👌
da captain got um caught with paro
Daniel’s gift.
I think she is hooked Herself !
We Irish have a great sense of humor, I feel Nicola has too. She is a lovely person
Now she is writing a book and the Kinahans are the stars, maybe she has a little crush on guess who? The reason the Irish are using so much cocaine, the Irish have the highest substance abuse rate in the US They are afflicted with alcohol and drug addiction. Sad but true.
Could have been reduced if acted early and decisively
Cure-a-sow pronunciation 🙂
