Meanwhile in Westmeath at the Athlone Mail Centre 5.7 kilograms of illegal drugs were found in 23 parcels from Spain and the UK.
Officers discovered cannabis products, amphetamines, and sleeping tablets worth an estimated €50,000.
They were contained in packages that were marked falsely, some labelled 'boxing equipment' and 'beef jerky'.
Both of these operations took place with the assistance of two Revenue detector dogs, they're both called Bailey.
