Two men have been arrested following the seizure of €11.4m worth of cocaine at Rosslare Europort.
The drugs were found yesterday in a horsebox that had arrived at the port from Cherbourg, France.
Officers from Revenue's customs section searched the horsebox at about 1.30pm, after it had disembarked from a ferry and during the course of the operation, the officers found an estimated 163kg of suspected cocaine.
The search was conducted with the help of Revenue's mobile x-ray scanner and detector dog Dáithí.
Gardaí from Wexford were called to the scene and arrested two men, aged in their 20s and 30s, in relation to the seizure.
They are being held at a garda station in the Wexford district under section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act.
The drugs will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for further analysis.
A spokesperson for Revenue said the seizure was part of its ongoing work targeting "smuggling and shadow economic activity".
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Revenue on the 1800 295 295 confidential phone line.
Investigations are ongoing.
