The cash was packed into 17 evidence bags and removed from the home of Ted Cunningham, Farran, Co Cork. Mr Cunningham was arrested on Thursday as part of a major cross-Border investigation into the theft of £26.5 million from the Northern Bank in Belfast before Christmas.
Heavy garda security surrounded Mr Cunningham’s house as the bags were loaded into the back of a jeep before being transferred to garda headquarters under armed escort.
