Three men were still being questioned by gardaí in Limerick last night following one of the biggest seizures of ecstasy in the city.
A total of 100,000 ecstasy tablets were found when gardaí stopped a van on the main Dublin to Limerick road on the outskirts of the city on Sunday morning.
The drugs have an estimated street value of €1.2 million and have been sent to Dublin for forensic examination.
The driver of the van, who is from Dublin, was arrested at Guhig near Castleconnell at 10.30 a.m.
