A man and a woman arrested in Portugal yesterday are due in court in connection with the discovery of a cannabis grow house in Co Cork.

In January 2016, gardaí discovered €187,000 worth of cannabis herb and plants at a house in Dunmanway.

Yesterday, a man in his 30s and woman in her 20s were detained in Lisbon on foot of a European arrest warrant.

The warrant was executed by detectives from the Divisional Drugs Unit in West Cork.

The man and woman have since been brought to Bandon Garda Station and are due in court this afternoon.

Gardaí say that one European arrest warrant is still outstanding.

One man has been before the courts in connection with the investigation.
