Kilos of cocaine and cannabis were discovered at premises in Mountmellick.
A Dublin crime gang has been targeted during a €14m cocaine seizure in Laois.
An intelligence led operation was carried out in a number of locations last night.
Gardaí from the Dublin Crime Response Team led this operation yesterday evening, uncovering 182 kilos of cocaine.
4 kilos of cannabis herb was also seized during raids in Mountmellick in Laois and a number of other locations.
In a follow-up search in west Dublin, 17 kilos of cocaine was confiscated along with €25,000 in cash - leading to a combined drugs haul estimated to be worth €14m
Eight vehicles along with drugs paraphernalia were also seized.
Gardaí say the operation has taken down the main supply network for cocaine and crack cocaine into West Dublin, preventing the drugs from entering communities.
3 men have been arrested - they can be held for up to 7 days.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary, Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR), says, "This intelligence-led operation conducted by the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT) has taken down the main supply network for cocaine and crack cocaine into West Dublin.
"This operation targeting the sourcing, preparation and distribution of substantial quantities of these illicit drugs, stopped them from entering our communities and is another significant blow to an Organised Criminal Group.”
Investigations are ongoing.
Paul Cleary, Assistant Commissioner for the Dublin Metropolitan Region, says the operation lasted a number of months:
