Revenue officials at Dublin Airport have seized around 2.2kg of cocaine with a street value of €154,000.
A 40-year-old South African was found to have 2kg hidden in the lining of a briefcase, while concealing the remaining 200g internally.
He arrived on a flight from Zurich having previously travelled from Nairobi.
The man was handed over to the Drugs Garda Unit in Santry and is due in court later.
