A man and woman have been arrested over a €1million drug seizure in Dublin.
Members of the Garda National Drugs Unit stopped and searched a man in Finglas and five kilograms of a substance which is believed to be heroin was seized.
He was arrested and is currently detained at Finglas Garda station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act.
In a follow up search a location in the south inner city was searched and a female was arrested and she also detained under the same Act at Kevin Street Garda station.

The drugs, with an estimated street value of €216,000, were discovered when a South African woman (41) was stopped and her baggage searched.
The drugs were found concealed in a suitcase.
The woman, who had travelled to Dublin from Johannesburg via Zurich, appeared in court this morning where she was remanded in custody for one week.
