Two people have been arrested in Portugal in relation to the seizure of €187,000 worth of drugs in Co Cork in 2016.
The two, a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s, were detained in Lisbon on Wednesday on foot of a European arrest warrant.
The arrests were in relation to a Garda search operation at a house in Dunmanway on January 18th, 2016, during which a growhouse containing €187,000 worth of cannabis herb and cannabis plants was found.
The drugs were seized, and four men and a woman were later arrested and detained at Bandon and Bantry Garda stations
