Gardaí arrested a man in his fifties and seized over €8,000,000 of suspected illegal drugs, as well as €1,000,000 cash, in a search operation in Dublin yesterday.
The search was conducted by the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT) under warrant at a residence in The Ward, Dublin 11 yesterday evening.
Suspected illegal drugs seized included cocaine, cannabis, ketamine, LSD and MDMA.
The suspected drugs will now be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) to undergo analysis.

The arrested man is currently detained at a Garda Station in the Dublin area.
Further cash, vehicles and designer goods were seized in a number of follow-up searches across the Dublin Metropolitan Region.
Assistant Commissioner, Dublin Metropolitan Region, Angela Willis, said the seizure of the significant quantity of drugs and cash "is a major blow to this organised crime group which has been causing so much misery in communities right across the city".
"Cash is the lifeblood of crime groups and the seizure of amounts of this scale causes significant disruption. Gardaí continue to target those that destroy lives through their activities,” Willis said in a statement.
Gardaí added that investigations are ongoing.
