A major crackdown on drug dealing in the city centre has been launched.
The operation coincides with the lead up to St. Patrick's Day.
In a recent 4 day period, 304 people were searched and drugs found 42 times as part of a clean up operation on both sides of the liffey.
Gardai from Pearse Street targeted addicts and street dealers who gather in groups in the main shopping areas and along the boardwalk by the quays.
Thousand of tourists are due here this week for St Patricks Day and authorites want to make sure they are kept safe.
