A man in his 20s, who was arrested in connection with the seizure of €1 million worth of drugs and cash in Tallaght, Co Dublin, has since been charged.

The man was the third individual to be arrested in connection with the investigation, as another man and woman in their 20s were arrested initially.

The man is expected to appear before Tallaght District Court on Friday morning.

The seizure of the drugs and cash is part of ongoing investigations targeting the distribution of controlled drugs under Operation Tara.

Community gardaí and the Drugs Unit based at Tallaght Garda Station conducted an operation on Tuesday.

During the operation, a residential property in the Old Bawn area was searched, resulting in the seizure of a substantial quantity of controlled drugs, including cannabis, cocaine and ketamine, with a combined estimated street value of approximately €950,000 (analysis pending).

Gardaí also seized over €231,000 in cash, bringing the total seizure to over €1 million.
