A man in his 20s is due before the Limerick District Court on Monday morning after gardaí seized almost half a million euros worth of cocaine.

It follows a drug operation on Saturday where officers stopped a van in a hospital and found a concealed haul worth an estimated €493,000.

Gardaí also seized cash, electronic items, and later discovered more cash and a small amount of cannabis during a follow-up search in Castletroy.
