A third man has pleaded guilty in connection with the biggest seizure of cocaine in the history of the State.
David Mufford, 43, from Torquay in Devon, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine for sale or supply on board the yacht Dances with Waves on 5 November last year.
Mr Mufford was arrested following the seizure of 1.7 tonnes of cocaine with an estimated street value of €650m.
He admitted the offence when he was arraigned before Cork Circuit Criminal Court today.
Judge Patrick J Moran remanded Mr Mufford in custody until 8 May.
He will be sentenced on that date along with 52-year-old Philip Doo, from Brixham, Devon, and 42-year-old Christopher Wiggins, with an address at Estepona, Malaga in Spain.
