A major Dublin cocaine trafficking gang led by two brothers were the target of a significant garda operation this week in which €14m in drugs were seized. The same gang were hit in a €11m drug and cash seizure last year with senior gardaí saying they have dismantled a drug supply network to west Dublin.

Gardai have seized a massive amount of cocaine in a follow up to a major drugs bust last night. A total of 182kg of cocaine and 4kg of cannabis herb were seized in Mountmellick, Co Laois and a number of other locations yesterday,
