A ‘substantial’ quantity of cannabis was found hidden in spices in a container yesterday afternoon.

It was originally thought the cannabis could be worth millions of pounds. However, a Garda spokesman said this morning the haul has turned out smaller than expected, valuing the drugs at around £100,000.
