Revenue officers seized €1.95 million worth of Cannabis and Cocaine at Dublin Port last Sunday.

They seized approximately 80.5 kilograms of cannabis and five kilograms of cocaine, with an estimated combined value of €1.95 million, along with €143,900 in cash.

Two arrests were made: a man and a woman in their 30s, and they are currently detained pursuant to Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a Garda Station in Dublin.

Both have since been charged in relation to this investigation.

They are due to appear before Dublin District Court on Tuesday.
