Two men have appeared at Blanchardstown District Court this morning, following the record drugs seizure this week.

Garret Hopkins, from Leixlip in County Kildare and Abraham Shodiya, from Cabra in Dublin have been charged with possession of cocaine for sale or supply.

The 42-year-old and 31-year-old appeared seperately and are being detained at Clondalkin Garda Station.

A third man was arrested yesterday in connection with the seizure.

Gardai seized 350kg of cocaine on Tuesday in what's believed to be the biggest inland seizure of drugs in the history of the State.
