Polythene tunnels that were originally erected on a farm to produce mushrooms were used by a criminal gang to produce up to 600 DVDs an hour - up to 3 million a year - on 20 DVD burners and printers.

Gardaí say an adult and two juveniles have been detained and equipment worth about €300,000 was seized.
