A man and a woman are being questioned today in connection with the seizure of cannabis worth an estimated €180,000 in Rosslare.

A Customs spokeswoman said 15kg of herbal cannabis were found in a van at the Rosslare Europort after it left a ferry from the UK.

She said the drugs were hidden under the floor of the vehicle. The search was carried out after risk profiling and a reaction by sniffer dog Dylan.
