This followed an operation involving An Garda Síochána and Revenue officers which led to the seizure of approximately 1kg of methamphetamine.

Large quantities of suspected cannabis herbs, cocaine and MDMA, along with a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition, were seized.

The MDMA was seized following a search, under warrant, of a premises in Castlebar.

Two men, aged in their 30s and 60s, and a woman, aged in her 60s, have been arrested in connection with this seizure.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the number of large drugs seizures in recent weeks is ‘the tip of the iceberg’.
