Yesterday's search was part of Operation Tara.

Jason Doyle has 63 previous convictions, 13 of which are related to dangerous driving.

A smaller quantity of cannabis herb was also found at the property and a file is now being prepared for the DPP.

The search was carried out after a man was arrested for road traffic offences when he failed to stop for Gardai in Cavan on Tuesday afternoon.

While figures show a 12% yearly reduction in drug offences, Noel Keelan questioned how many detections are not being made.

Cavan Roads Policing Unit has also been carrying out speed checks in the run-up to Christmas.

One driver tested positive for cannabis, with another testing positive for cocaine, and a third having alcohol in their system.

The search took place as part of Operation Tara, which targets the sale and supply of drugs.
