Cannabis plants with an estimated street value of €180,000 were seized by investigating Gardaí.

Two men aged in their 40's and 20's and one woman in her 50's have now been charged in the relation to the seizure.

Two men, aged in their 20s and 40s and a woman in her 50s were arrested.

The Dáil debated the bill yesterday, but the government said it needs to assess last week's Citizen's Assembly report first.

A quantity of cannabis was discovered on a rear seat passenger.

The parcels originated from France and Spain and were destined for addresses in Dublin and Galway.

He was arrested and the car seized, with a court date to follow.

The car was found to be travelling at 96km per hour in a 50km per hour zone.
