Cocaine with an estimated street value of 11.4 million euro has been seized after being found in a horsebox from France.
Two men were arrested after the find at Rosslare Europort Harbour in Co Wexford.
Revenue officers searched the horsebox, which arrived on a ferry from Cherbourg, using a mobile X-ray scanner and detector dog at about 1.30pm on Thursday.
Almost 163kg of the class A drug was seized.
Wexford Gardai were called and the two men, in the 20s and 30s, were arrested.
Both were detained at a garda station in Wexford under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The drugs will be sent for further analysis.
