A man in his 30s is due before Waterford District Court this afternoon, charged in relation to a drugs seizure in the city on Monday.

The 32-year-old was arrested after synthetic, headshop-type drugs worth more than €800,000 were discovered at an apartment complex in Waterford city.

The seizure was a result of the controlled delivery of a parcel, which arrived into Cork airport from China.

Meanwhile, a man is still being questioned by gardaí in Roscommon, over the discovery of a cannabis growhouse.

Around 380 plants were recovered through an intelligence led operation, in which gardaí searched a shed at Athleague at 3.30pm yesterday afternoon.

They are thought to have a street value of around €300,000, subject to analysis.

The man - in his 30s - was arrested at the scene and is being held at Roscommon garda station.

He can be held for up to a week.
