THREE PEOPLE have been found concealed in the back of a lorry in Dublin.

The three men, believed to be migrants trying to make their way into the country, were discovered in Dublin at around 4.30pm yesterday.

According to RTÉ News, the driver of the truck became suspicious and believed there may be people smuggled and concealed inside the container he had just picked up.

According to Gardaí, the trailer had travelled from abroad into Rosslare Port before being picked up by the driver.
