Four of those, aged in their 30s and 40s, were arrested in Co Kerry on Monday, while the remaining man, who is 28-years-old, was detained on Thursday after gardaí searched a cargo ship on the Shannon Estuary.

They are due before Killarney District Court this evening.

Despite a number of ships being searched, it is understood no drugs were found.
