Both seizures were made at Dublin Airport on Sunday
Two men are being questioned by gardai following two significant drugs seizures at Dublin Airport over the bank holiday weekend.
As a result of risk profiling and during the course of two separate operations, Revenue officers seized 43.1 kgs of herbal cannabis with an estimated value of €862,000.
The illicit drugs were discovered in vacuum-packed packages within the baggage of two passengers who had disembarked separate flights originating from Thailand.
Both seizures were made at the airport on Sunday.
A man in his 30s and a man in his 50s were arrested by gardai and both were detained and questioned under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
Gardai say they have since been charged and that both appeared before the courts this Monday morning.
Revenue says the seizures are part of its ongoing operations targeting organised crime groups and the importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs.
