People along north Donegal coast urged to look out for suspicious material after drugs find

Gardaí are appealing to people along the north Donegal coastline to keep an eye out for suspicious material.

One package was spotted on Ballyhiernan Beach in Fanad, with another later reported at Tramore Beach in Dunfanaghy.

Gardaí have launched an investigation, and are urging people in the Fanad Head area to watch out for more packages or marine debris in the coming days.
