The searches were conducted by the Donegal Divisional Drugs Unit, assisted by local members from Ballyshannon District at an address in Donegal town.

 

During the course of the initial search, a large-scale greenhouse was located with cannabis plants at various stages of growth.

 

The drugs seized last week comprised 500 cannabis plants and 13.5kg of cultivated cannabis herb.

 

The drugs were sent to forensics for analysis.

 

Gardaí in Donegal continue to appeal to anyone who may have information in relation to this growhouse and seizure, to contact them.

 

Gardai say that no arrests have been made at this time and that investigations are ongoing.
