Drugs valued at €590,000 and a firearm have been seized in County Dublin as part of Operation Tara. 

It happened after Gardaí recovered cocaine worth €50,000 and arrested two men during an operation in the Maplewood area of Tallaght at 10am yesterday.

In a follow-up operation, a residence in the area was searched which led to the discovery of cocaine worth €420,000, crystal meth worth €120,000 and a gun.

The two men arrested have been released without charge and will appear before Tallaght District Court later this month.

The drugs seized are subject to analysis by Forensic Science Ireland and investigations are ongoing.
