Woman arrested after €200,000 worth of cannabis allegedly seized by gardaí in Cork

It is alleged a vehicle was searched on the M8 motorway and 10kg of suspected cannabis was seized

The case forms part of Operation Tara, an enhanced national anti-drugs strategy launched by the Garda commissioner in July 2021 to disrupt, dismantle, and prosecute drug trafficking networks.

A €200,000 stash of cannabis was allegedly seized by gardaí and they arrested a 45-year-old woman in Glanmire at the weekend.

Detective Garda Rory Fogarty described the arrest under a Garda operation called Operation Tara when he gave evidence on Monday at Cork District Court.
