Three men have been arrested as part of an investigation into organised crime in Dublin and the east of the country.
The men, aged in their 20s, 30s and 60s, were detained by Gardaí from Terenure and Sundrive Garda Stations over the past five days.
The investigation is targeting people suspected of involvement in drug trafficking, money laundering and drug-related intimidation as part of a criminal organisation.
The men are being questioned at a Dublin Garda station, where they can be held for up to seven days.
Earlier this year, the same investigation saw Gardaí seize €3.1 million worth of cocaine and €353,000 in cash in Wicklow and Dublin.
A total of 37 homes, businesses and vehicles were searched as part of the operation in early February.
In May, Gardaí carried out 42 searches across Dublin and the east of the country and seized 250,000 in cash alongside four vehicles worth over €100,000.
