Cannabis, MDMA, ecstasy, ketamine and other drugs worth a staggering €2.5 million were during a massive raid in Dublin yesterday.
Officers made the find at a residence in the Kingswood area of Dublin 22 on Thursday.
The search was carried out by gardai from the Dublin Metropolitan Region West Divisional Drugs Unit based at Ronanstown Garda Station.
During the course of the raid officers found 34 kilos of vacuum packed cannabis with an estimated value of €680,000, MDMA with a value of €40,860, pink Upjohn tablets worth €22,146, blue ecstasy tablets worth €176,190 and pink powder for Upjohn tablets valued at €168,000 and €3,550 respectively.
They also seized white ecstasy tablets valued at €66,240, ketamine valued at €60,000, Xanax tablets valued at €81,700 and further ecstasy valued at €1,187,500.
All drugs seized are subject to further analysis.
Gardai also found a drugs press, mixing machine, weighing scales and storage material during their search.
A garda spokesman said a further investigation has been launched, and no arrests have yet been made.
Chief Superintendent Finbarr Murphy of Dublin West Division claimed this is another example of the impact of Operation Tara on drug dealing.
He said: "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."
