The 60kg haul was uncovered early on Saturday after a surveillance operation was put in place involving Revenue Customs officers and members of the Garda Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau. The consignment of the drug had arrived into the State in a freight container through Ringaskiddy Port. The drugs are to be taken away for further examination.
The three men arrested are suspected of being part of a group that collected the drugs from the port and were in the process of transporting them out of the Cork area, likely to Dublin.
