A Detective confirmed to the judge the substance was not sugar.
A court hearing over an €8.4 million drugs seizure in the midlands has heard it's "not flour and not baking soda."
Tim Gilchrist, of Mavis Bank, Newrath, Waterford and pilot and Michal Luczak, with an address at Primrose Avenue, Jigginstown, Naas, Kildare, appeared in Mullingar District Court today.
Gardaí monitored a Cessna single-engine plane landing at Abbeyshrule Aerodrome in Longford.
Later that evening two vehicles near Lough Owel in Westmeath were intercepted - with 120 kilos of cocaine found in one car.
The court heard Gardaí need time to obtain directions from the DPP on a trial venue and possible extra charges.
Detective Ivor Scully confirmed to the judge the substance was not sugar, adding, "no, it is not flour, not backing soda".
The two men are accused of possessing cocaine for sale or supply.
Mr Gilchrist made no application for bail, while it was refused for Mr Luczak.
Judge Mitchell remanded them in continuing custody to appear again on September 8 for directions from the DPP.
