A number of people are due in court on Thursday in relation to a major drugs investigation in Dublin.
Operation Tempest, follows six months of investigation - and is expected to result in almost 100 charges involving 45 people.
The operation is aimed at identifying drug dealers supplying Heroin, Cocaine and other controlled substances.
100 gardai from the Bridewell, Mountjoy and Store Street Garda stations along with the National Drugs unit conducted searches in the North Inner City over recent days.
More than 8,000 residents of Dublin's North Inner City have been interviewed by Community Gardai as part of the operation.
30 people have been arrested - and those charged are due in court on Thursday morning.
Gardai say the arrests are on top of the 55 arrests made under Operation Spire - also in Dublin's North Inner City.
