On Saturday, (26/04/2025), as a result of risk profiling, Revenue officers seized 36kg of herbal cannabis, with an estimated value of €720,000, at Dublin Port.
The seizure was made when Revenue officers stopped and searched an unaccompanied trailer that had arrived into Dublin Port from Holyhead.
A man in his 20s was arrested, and is currently detained at a Garda Station in Dublin under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996. The individual is due to appear before the Court later this morning.
Investigations are ongoing.
