Gardaí have seized pirated DVD's, worth an estimated &8364;500,000, in a raid in a house in Dundalk.
The haul included Terminator 3and other titles that have yet to be released in Ireland.
Gardaí say they were intended for sale at open-air markets between Dublin and the North and the seizure "has dealt a significant blow to that business".
The seizure was made in a planned search of a house in an estate in Dundalk yesterday morning.
