A man has been arrested and 180,000 euro has been seized as part of a Garda investigation into the delivery of drugs into prisons by drone.
The Garda Drugs Unit from Ronanstown searched a home in west Dublin on Friday.
During the search, more than 180,000 euro in various denominations was seized.
A designer watch valued at 10,000 euro and several mobile phones were also confiscated.
A 42-year-old man was arrested and is detained under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda station in Dublin.
The operation follows a previous seizure involving a drone and a quantity of diamorphine intended for delivery into a west Dublin prison on February 12.
