Cocaine with an estimated street value of €3.1 million has been found in a vehicle at Dublin Port.
Customs dog James found the class A drugs in a refrigerated unit after a vehicle was stopped as part of a Revenue Customs Service and the Gardaí (Irish police) investigation.
Gardaí said the operation is targeting transnational organised crime.
The drugs, which weighed 45kg, were subsequently seized and a 46-year-old man has been arrested.
The seizure was made as a result of a joint operation conducted by Revenue’s Customs Service and the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau.
