Seven puppies have been rescued as part of a multi-agency operation tackling the illegal trade in puppies. 

The rescue mission to save the puppers took place last Thursday morning at Fishguard Port, Wales.

The animals were found dishevelled and 'filthy,' after being transported by ferry from Rosslare, Wexford in the boot of a car. 

The doggos, two foxhound type and five cocker spaniel type dogs, are now in the capable care of the ISPCA.

They had been stored in crates in the car, and the ferry journey was delayed by four hours.

The puppies, all under 10 weeks old, were subject to welfare concerns.

 'This incident again shows how some people are willing to disregard the welfare of defenceless animals and break the law purely to make a quick buck,' SPCA Chief Inspector Conor Dowling said.

'Thankfully, on this occasion, multi-agency cooperation meant that they were stopped.'

'The illegal smuggling of these puppies will now be investigated further.'

The dogs had a number of health issues when they were found, but are now being treated back in Ireland.

They are not currently available for rehoming but will be added to the rehoming page on the ISPCA website when they are ready for adoption.

There's poor driving and poorly sign-posted junctions…. and then there is this. 

An Irish man has captured footage of a notoriously confusing junction located at Rosslare Harbour in County Wexford which regular ferry-goers will no doubt be familiar with.

Michael Fortune captured a video of drivers trying and generally failing to navigate their way into the correct lane at the junction which apparently remains just as poorly sign-posted today as it did in this video filmed in 2007.

"For those who haven't seen it before, [this is] a form of local folklore which I filmed in Rosslare Harbour in Co. Wexford in 2007," reads the video description. 

"The short film captures the entrance to Rosslare port and how cars, vans, bikes etc swerve, dodge and dance at a badly signed junction.

"Apparently this had being going on for years. One man told me, that he'd go down most evenings during the summer, to observe the craic with the cars as they rushed to get onto the ferry.

And paired with the comical soundtrack, this vid is nothing short of farce. 

Watch the bonkers footage below (and keep an eye out for the guy stopping to have a quick wee): 

Rosslare Harbour, Co. WexfordI've been asked by a good few Wexford people to embed this on Facebook. For those who haven't seen it before, its a form of local folklore which I filmed in Rosslare Harbour in Co. Wexford in 2007 . The short film captures the entrance to Rosslare port and how cars, vans, bikes etc swerve, dodge and dance at a badly signed junction.Apparently this had being going on for years. One man told me, that he'd go down most evenings during the summer, to observe the craic with the cars as they rushed to get onto the ferry.Aside from the cars going arseways, the man stopping to have a wee before he hit the queue for the ferry is 100% real. I spent 3 hours recording this and once I stuck Valerio's soundtrack underneath it that evening, I knew it was a winner.The man who brought my attention to this, Mike Kavanagh, passed away last year.
