Gardai said the operation targeted drugs and organized crime in Galway and was being carried out by the Galway Divisional Drugs Unit with support from the Galway District Drug Unit, Armed Support Unit and Garda Dog Unit.
“The drugs seized are now being sent to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis,” Gardai said in a statement.
“Two men in their 30s were arrested in connection with this seizure. Both men are currently being held at Garda stations in Galway, one under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007 and the other under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
