Gardaí are today continuing to question seven people arrested yesterday as part of a major operation against drugs gangs in west Dublin.

More than 30 business and residential premises were searched during the operation.

The target of the so-called super-raid was a gang that last year planted a pipe bomb which exploded outside the home of a garda’s elderly parents.

The seven arrested yesterday include one woman in her 30s and six men ranging in age from 17 to 22.
