Gardaí in Galway have begun an investigation after three stowaways were found inside a truck on Wednesday.
It is understood the investigation comes after the three men believed to be from Sudan were found inside the truck which was carrying equipment to the Galway International Arts Festival.
Gardai say the three men who are said to be in good health were taken to Mill Street Garda Station, after they were detained at a Fisheries Field.
They added that the truck carrying the men arrived in Ireland after travelling from France earlier this week.
