Three men have been arrested and more than €1.28 million in cash seized as part of an operation targeting an organised crime group in Dublin.
On Thursday, a man in his 50s was arrested after gardaí from the Dublin Crime Response Team stopped in car in the Donnybrook area and seized €197,760 in cash.
In a follow-up operation, two men aged in their 30s and 40s, were also arrested.

All three are being held in garda stations in Dublin and are due to appear in court later today.
A number of properties were also searched in south Dublin and a total of €1,086,175 in case was seized.
