Revenue officers have seized almost 140 kgs of cannabis with an estimated value of €2.8 million at Rosslare Europort.
The drugs were discovered when officers stopped and searched a Spanish registered articulated lorry and its accompanying trailer that had disembarked a ferry from Cherbourg, France.
The search, carried out with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner, led to the discovery of the drugs concealed within a consignment of vegetables.
A man in his forties was arrested by Gardai at the scene and taken to Wexford Garda Station.
Investigations are ongoing.
