Cannabis worth an estimated €2m (£1.7m) has been seized at Dublin Port.
It was discovered on Friday when revenue officers searched an Irish-registered freight unit that came off a ferry from Cherbourg, France.
About 100kg of the drug was found with the assistance of a mobile x-ray and a drug detector dog.
A man in his 60s was arrested by gardaà (Irish police) and is being questioned at a station in Dublin.
Alfie, Revenue Ireland's detector dog, was also part of the operation
