A man in his 60s has been charged after cocaine worth €10.6m (£8.4m) was seized in the Republic of Ireland.

The man was arrested after gardaí (Irish police) seized 152kg of cocaine (subject to analysis), on Tuesday.

A heavy goods vehicle was intercepted on the M9 in County Kilkenny shortly after 10:00 local time and there were searches of two business premises and a residential property in Waterford.

He is expected to appear before a special sitting of Gorey District Court on Sunday.

Gardaí from the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau and Waterford Drug and Crime units carried out the searches as part of Operation Tara.

The operation was supported by the Revenue Customs Service, the Garda Dog Unit and the Stolen Motor Vehicle Investigation unit.
