A man has been arrested after cannabis and cocaine with an estimated street value of almost €6.5m have been seized at Rosslare Europort yesterday.
The drugs seized include around 288.6kg of herbal cannabis, 72.8kg of cannabis resin and 3.3kg of cocaine, with an estimated value of €6,443,640.
The man, aged in his 40s, is currently being detained at a garda station in Co Wexford.
The drugs were discovered when an accompanied freight unit which had earlier disembarked a ferry from Dunkirk, France, was stopped and searched.
Revenue said this was a result of risk profiling and with the assistance of Revenue's mobile x-ray scanner and detector dog Jasper.
