A man in his 60s has been arrested following the discovery of €2 million worth of cannabis at Dublin Port on Friday.
The drugs were discovered when Revenue officers stopped and searched an Irish-registered truck that had disembarked a ferry from Cherbourg, France.
The seizure was a joint operation between Revenue’s customs service and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) with the help of Alfie, a detector dog.
The man is due to appear in court in Dublin on Monday.
