Three men, aged in their 20s, were arrested at the scene and taken to Store Street Garda station where they were held under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The seizure forms part of operation Tara, an enhanced national anti-drugs strategy, which was started by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris last year.
