Three men aged 44, 48 and 59 were arrested following searches at Blakes Cross on Saturday.
Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Willis said gardai were committed to disrupting the activities of organised criminals supplying drugs.

Assistant Commissioner John O'Driscoll, who heads Special Crime Operations, said they continued to pursue those who engage in serious and organised crime with a view to dismantling the organised crime groups they are associated with.
He said: "This seizure of what is believed to be cocaine and the subsequent arrest of three suspects will assist in achieving that objective."
