Gardaí have seized an estimated €8.2m worth of cocaine following raids at 16 properties across five counties on Tuesday and Wednesday.

As part of an ongoing operation aimed at dismantling a "well-structured criminal organisation involved in large-scale drug distribution", gardaí say they executed search warrants at 16 properties across South Dublin, West Dublin, Meath, Westmeath, Laois, and Offaly over the past two days.
