Three remain in custody in connection with major cannabis find

Gardaí in Dublin are still questioning three men with links to a major cannabis distribution network.

The men, who were detained in separate raids across Dublin over the last few days, can be held for up to a week.

Around €1.4m worth of cannabis was seized and a 60-year-old man was detained when a van was stopped and searched on Arran Quay in the city centre on Tuesday.

In a follow-up operation on Wednesday a warehouse was raided in an industrial estate near Rathcoole.

A second man, aged 40, was arrested and cannabis, believed to be worth about €400,000, was recovered.

Yesterday a third man, a 23-year-old, was arrested in the city centre.
