Gardaí are continuing to question a man arrested following a drugs seizure in Co Cork yesterday evening.
The Polish man in his late 20s was arrested when gardaí raided a house on Station Road in Blarney and found 70 cannabis plants worth €35,000.
The two-storey dwelling had been converted into a grow house equipped with hydroponic baths and specialised lighting and heating.
Gardaí describe the set-up as highly professional and believe the man who lived alone in the rented house was growing for the Cork market
He was arrested by members of the Gurranebraher Drugs Squad and brought to Gurranebraher Garda Station for questioning.
The man was arrested under drugs trafficking legislation which allows gardaí detain suspects for up to seven days.
