€1.3 million worth of drugs have been seized at Dublin Airport.

The herbal cannabis and ketamine were found - in separate operations - in the luggage of passengers who had flown in from New York and Amsterdam on Saturday.

Two women in their 20s were arrested.

Contraband also seized

Separately on Saturday, €45,000 worth of cigarettes and tobacco were seized after Revenue officers searched three premises in Dublin's inner city.

The seized cigarettes and tobacco, of various brands, had a retail value of €45,000, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €35,000.

A man in his 50s was questioned and investigations are ongoing.

These seizures are part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting smuggling, shadow economy activity and the supply of illegal tobacco products.

If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on phone number 1800 295 295.
