More than 100 arrests have been carried out by gardaí as part of an "unprecedented" operation across Europe aimed at organised crime networks.

The operation, code- named Archimedes, resulted in 30 Romanian children being saved from trafficking and more than two tonnes of drugs seized.

In Ireland, gardaí conducted 106 arrests: 79 in relation to crime and 27 in connection with out-standing warrants.
