Further arrests are expected following the multi-million euro haul.

The cocaine was found in a rural farming area in Wexford on Monday and is part of an international operation targeting drug traffickers.

The drugs are estimated to be worth between €6 and €8 million.

Follow-up searches were carried out in Wexford and Dublin, where a large amount of cash was also seized.

In total, five men have been detained and further arrests are expected.

The investigation is targeting drug traffickers who have been using encrypted messaging apps to communicate globally.
