€2.5 million euro of drugs have been seized in west Dublin as part of an intelligence led operation.

It followed the planned search of a house in the Kingswood area of Dublin 22 yesterday as part of Operation Tara.

Gardaí discovered an assortment of suspected controlled drugs, including 34 kilos of vacuum packed cannabis with an estimated value of €680,000 along with MDMA worth €40,860.

Ecstasy worth €1.1 million was also recovered, as well Xanax tablets and ketamine.

Suspected drugs paraphernalia including a drugs press, mixing machine, weighing scales and storage material were also recovered.

No arrests have been made to date.

Chief Superintendent Finbarr Murphy of Dublin West Division say it's another example of the impact of Operation Tara on drug dealing;

"We will continue to detect and aggressively disrupt illegal drug dealing at all levels in order to protect our communities from the ravages of drugs. I will continue to increase the allocation of resources to meet this challenge"
