Two men are appearing in court around now after a drugs haul that netted nearly half a million Euros worth of heroin in the city.

The Garda Organised Crime Unit stopped and searchd two cars in the capital yesterday - and uncovered 3 kilos of the drug. 

Two men - one aged 61 and the other 28 - were taken into custody. 

The pair are going before the Criminal Courts on Parkgate Street at the moment.
