There's been a significant increase in drugs being seized at Dublin Airport.

€3 million worth of substances have been found in the last ten days alone.

Between Wednesday last week and Sunday, there were seven incidents uncovered of drugs being imported into the country by people getting off flights at Dublin Airport.

More than €3.1 million euro worth of cocaine and cannabis has been seized, while eight people were arrested.

It comes as Revenue confirms its seized €45 million worth of drugs in August alone, with close to €170 million worth of substances found in the first eight months of the year.

That's more than double the figure for the same time last year.
