A man in his 40s has been arrested after cannabis worth an estimated €2.84 million was seized at Dublin Port on Sunday.
Revenue officers seized about 142kgs of cannabis as part of routine operations. The drugs were discovered when officers stopped and searched a vehicle which had arrived from France.
A man was arrested by An Garda Síochána and is currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a Garda station in Dublin.
Revenue said investigations are continuing.
