"The successful outcome to an operation undertaken by the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau, involving the seizure of cocaine with a street sale value close to €5 million, reflects the Garda Síochána's determination to dismantle organised crime groups that trade in drugs," he said.
He added that investigations are ongoing.
