Gardai at Santry station in Dublin are questioning a man arrested yesterday in connection with a large drugs seizure at Dublin Port.
The National Drugs Unit arrested the man at Dublin Airport in a follow-up operation to the seizure of drugs by Customs officials at the port.
A garda spokesman said the 40-year-old man is an Irishman living outside the country.
He has not been charged.
A ‘substantial’ quantity of cannabis was found hidden in spices in a container yesterday afternoon.
A garda spokesman said this morning the haul has turned out to be smaller than expected.
The drugs are believed to be worth around £100,000.
