WATCH: 'More than 100 people' line street in Tralee as two men in court after €32.8m drug seizure

It is estimated that more than 100 people have gathered in Tralee to witness two men in court relating to a €32.8m drug seizure.

An Garda Síochána said: "Two men, both aged in their 40s were arrested as part of this investigation have been charged and are expected to appear before a special sitting of Tralee District Court today, Friday February 23 at approximately 1:30pm."

As the proceedings took place this afternoon, members of the public flooded the area of John Joe Sheehy Road in Tralee where the court is located.

Garda personnel from the Kerry Divisional Drugs Unit, Cork, and a number of other units were involved in the operation last Friday, February 16, at Cork Port.

Follow up searches were conducted in Kerry and Cork which resulted in the arrests of two men and the seizure of two firearms.

A Revenue statement said: "This seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing joint investigations involving organised crime groups and the importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs."
