A man has appeared in court charged with a major drugs bust on the northside.
Brendan Mangan of Tonlegee Road, Coolock was arrested after over 2 million euro worth of cannabis was seized on Friday.
On Friday afternoon, officers from the Garda Drugs Unit moved in on a number of houses in the Coolock area.
The searches were carried out as part of an intelligence led operation and the unit was backed up by local uniformed Gardai.
During these searches, cannabis herb worth an estimated €2.38 million was seized and one man was arrested.
Brendan Mangan, a 42-year-old security officer, was brought to court today in connection with the haul.
He's facing one charge of having drugs for sale or supply on March 7th at the Tonlegee Road in Coolock.
Detective Garda Joseph McBride told Judge Cormac Dunne that the State objected to bail on a number of grounds.
These included the seriousness of the charge, the amount of drugs involved and the fact he's no longer welcome in his rented accommodation.
Judge Dunne noted the Gardai's reservations but decided to grant bail under a number of strict conditions.
He then remanded the father of one in custody with consent to bail and he's due to appear before Cloverhill District Court on Wednesday.
