Seven men and a woman were arrested following the discovery of the drugs, valued at €660,000, in a car in Celbridge, Co Kildare and at a house in Adamstown, Dublin on Tuesday.

Three of the men and the woman will appear before Blanchardstown District Court tomorrow morning.

Another of those arrested will appear at the same court sitting charged in relation to a separate matter.

The remaining three men have been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions, a Garda spokesman said.
