In a separate operation at Dublin Port, authorities apprehended a 30-year-old man who was found in possession of 10 kilograms of herbal cannabis, with an estimated street value of €200,000. This significant bust occurred when a vehicle arriving from the UK was intercepted and thoroughly searched.
These successful operations underline the unwavering commitment of Irish law enforcement in combatting illegal drug trafficking and ensuring the safety and security of the nation.
