A man has been arrested after €80,000 worth of cannabis herb was seized in South Dublin last night.

The drugs were discovered by Gardaí from the Terenure District Drugs Unit.

They were carrying out searches of the local area as part of an operation into the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Terenure and Rathmines areas.

At approximately 10.15pm, they seized 4kg of cannabis herb, valued at an estimated €80,000 (pending analysis) at one residence.

A 25 year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards.
