Cocaine with a street value of €154,000 was seized in Dublin Airport today.
The drugs were found in the possession of a 40-year-old South African man.
Some 2kg of the drug were found in the lining of a briefcase and the remainder were hidden internally, according to Revenue's Customs Service. Customs said the man was searched as a result of risk profiling.
He arrived on a flight from Zurich, Switzerland and had previously travelled from Nairobi, Kenya. He was arrested and handed over to the Garda Drugs Unit in Santry and will appear in court later.
