Four men have appeared in court charged in connection with the discovery of €7m worth of drugs in the south east of the country.
The men, aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s, were arrested on Monday following the seizure of 100kg of cocaine.
The operation was carried out by gardaí, including members of the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
Dean Chambers, 47, with an address in Whitepark, Arklow, Co Wicklow; 52-year-old Karl Dowling, from Ferrybank in Waterford; PJ Kinsella, 52, with an address in Ballyoughter, Gorey, Co Wexford; and 31-year-old Wojciech Kuzio, of Main Street, Arklow, Co Wicklow, appeared before a sitting of Gorey District Court.
All four were charged with possession of a controlled drug, namely cocaine, and with possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell or supply.
Judge John Cheatle remanded Dean Chambers, Karl Dowling and PJ Kinsella in custody with consent to bail. Gardaí had objected to bail.
Wojciech Kuzio made no application for bail and was remanded to custody.
All four men are due in court again next week.
