Two men have appeared in court charged in connection with a massive cash seizure in Wexford and Dublin.

It follows an operation by Gardaí investigating organised crime.

44-year-old Bernard Joyce from Newtown, Beauparc in Co Meath appeared in court this afternoon charged with one money laundering offence in relation to the possession of €1m

The court heard the accused, who is unemployed, made no reply when charged and cautioned yesterday evening.

The judge noted the amount on the charge sheet actually read that he was charged in relation to €1 as opposed to €1m because of where the decimal point had been inserted.

It was then corrected.

Mr Joyce did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody to appear in court again next week.

The court heard the second man - 29-year-old Glenn Power from Cole Park Road in Ballyfermot in Dublin - is charged with two money laundering offences.

It is alleged he was caught handing over €505,000 at a carpark in Wexford town and €500,000 was later allegedly found in the attaic of his Dublin home.

Mr Power was refused bail and is due back in court on Friday.
