A man was arrested in connection with the seizure.
The 33-year-old is currently being held at Swords Garda Station.
Speaking today, Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll who heads Organised and Serious Crime said, "Participation by a number of sections within An Garda Síochána with assistance provided by Customs Revenue Service in this operation, has resulted in another significant seizure of a substance believed to be cocaine, which prevents further damage being inflicted within our communities”.
It's the second significant cocaine in seizure over the past week.
On Saturday, €245,000 worth of cocaine was seized at Dublin Airport.
