As part of an intelligence led operation targeting organised crime and the sale and supply of drugs in the Finglas area, Gardaí from the Drugs Unit in Finglas and Community Action Team carried out a search under warrant at a house in Dunsink Green, Finglas on the night of Saturday 25 May.

The search took place at 9.30pm approximately and during the course of the search, cannabis herb, cannabis resin and cocaine was seized with an estimated street value of approximately €221,000 (subject to analysis).
