Three men, aged in their 20s, were arrested at the scene and taken to Store Street Garda station where they were held under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The seizure forms part of operation Tara, an enhanced national anti-drugs strategy, which was started by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris last year.
The focus of operation Tara is to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute drug trafficking networks, at all levels involved in the importation and sale of illegal drugs.
