GARDAÍ HAVE SEIZED drugs with an estimated street value of €1.1 million and arrested four men during an operation in west Dublin.

As part of ongoing investigations targeting serious criminal activity in the Dublin region, a planned operation was carried out in the Clondalkin area yesterday evening by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
