8 migrants who were discovered on a cargo ship in Waterford remain in Garda custody this morning.
The men, who are believed to be from Albania, were discovered at Belview Port at around 4pm yesterday evening.
The ship's crew discovered the men, all believed to be adults, hiding inside the bulk hold.
They are all said to be in good health and it's expected that they will claim asylum in Ireland.
It is unclear where the men were headed or how they came to be onboard the vessel.
The men face deportation back to France depending on their status, and the outcome of a Garda investigation.
