€200,000 worth of heroin was seized in the Meath Market

Gardai in Blanchardstown, Finglas, Tallaght, Clondalkin and in the city centre arrested seven men, two women and a teenager in connection with the seizures of heroin, cocaine and cannabis.
On Saturday evening, €200,000 worth of heroin was seized in the Meath Market and South Earl Street area of Dublin city centre.
However, gardai from Kevin Street, who carried out the raids, did not arrest anyone.
Also on Saturday, two men, aged 32 and 22, were arrested at Harelawn Park in Clondalkin and €60,000 worth of heroin was seized. The men were released yesterday without charge.
The weekend's biggest haul came on Friday night, when about 10 kilos of heroin -- with an estimated street value of €2m -- was recovered in an operation in Tallaght by the garda drugs squad and the Irish Customs Service, assisted by the Tallaght gardai.
Four men, three in their twenties and one in his thirties, were arrested in connection with the raids on five properties, which targeted both houses and commercial premises.
They will appear at Tallaght District Court this morning charged in connection with the drugs seizure.
Small quantities of cannabis and cocaine, with a combined value of €5,000, were also found, along with the heroin discovery which gardai are calling "significant".
Another man and two women were arrested on Friday morning in separate cocaine seizures in Mulhuddart and Finglas.
Gardai said the raids, although carried out over the same weekend, were not co-ordinated.
"It just so happened that they all fell like that on the one weekend," one garda source said
