A man is due in court this morning after €45,000 worth of cocaine was seized in Cork.

The drugs were seized on MacCurtain Street at around 2pm yesterday afternoon.

Gardaí on patrol are said to have seen a man acting suspiciously.

When he spotted the officers, the man is said to have attempted to hide in a doorway.

The man was arrested, and taken to Mayfield Garda Station.

He has since been charged, and is due to appear before Cork City District Court this morning.
