Two men have appeared in court over the weekend in Galway over a major drug seizure last Thursday in Monaghan and in Galway. €550,000 worth of suspected cannabis and cocaine along with €65,000 in cash, 4 cars and a Rolex watch were seized by Gardaí.
A total of six locations were searched in Monaghan and Galway. The searches involved Detective and Drug Unit personnel in the Louth/Cavan/Monaghan and Galway Divisions.
The two men, one in his 40s and one in his 50s have been charged as part of this investigation. The drugs seized will now be forwarded to Forensic Science Ireland for further analysis. Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
