Ireland's Rosslare port
Dublin - Arab Today
Fourteen foreigners were found hidden in a refrigerated lorry onboard an Irish ferry that arrived at Ireland's Rosslare port from France on Sunday afternoon, according to immigration officers.
The 14 foreign nationals -- 12 men and two women -- were discovered by immigration officers after the Oscar Wilde ferry docked at the port at 2 p.m. local time.
The lorry was heavily laden with fresh fruit.
The people were in good health although one man was taken to a local hospital for observation. They are believed to come from Afghanistan, Iran and there are also a number of Kurdish-Iranians among the party.
The ferry sailed from Cherbourg port, France Saturday night and the crossing to Rosslare port, southeast Ireland's County Wexford took 16 hours.
The immigration officers said all the people will be referred to the refugee application process.
