A Spanish based UK builder has been remanded in custody after a seizure of almost 4.7 million euro of cocaine in Dublin.
He appeared in court this morning following Friday's discovery in the Leopardstown area.
Last Friday, officers from the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau stopped a vehicle in the Leopardstown area.
