The three females, including one in her 40s and two in their 30s, and a male in his 30s are being detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.<\/p>\n

The seizure forms part of Operation Tara, the enhanced national anti-drugs strategy that was launched by the Garda Commissioner in July 2021.<\/p>\n
