One man has been arrested after more than 3kg of cannabis with an estimated street value of €63,000 was seized at Rosslare Europort.

The drugs were found in a UK registered van on a ferry arrived from Fishguard in Wales on Friday.

The search, which was carried out with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner and Detector Dog Flynn, led to the discovery of the drugs concealed in a side panel behind the driver’s seat.

A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and was detained at Wexford Garda Station.

Investigations are ongoing.
