Heroin with an estimated street value of more than €8m (£6.8m) and a plane have been seized at an airport in Dublin, gardaí (Irish police) have said.
The seizure was part of joint operation between An Garda Síochána (Irish police) and Irish customs officers.
A light aircraft was intercepted and later seized on Friday morning at Weston Airport, Irish broadcaster RTÉ has reported.
This followed the discovery of 60kg of vacuum-packed heroin in the aircraft.
Two men, one aged in his 40s and one in his 60s, have been arrested as part of Friday’s intelligence-led joint operation.
The pair are being detained under drug trafficking legislation and are currently being detained at a Garda station in County Kildare.
They can be held for up to seven days.
