It follows the seizure of drugs valued at €600,000 on Wednesday.

A number of serving gardai are being looked at as part of an investigation into the drugs trade in Dublin.

A 61 year old retired senior garda was arrested on Wednesday as part of the inquiry.

Drugs valued at €600,000 were seized in that operation.

It’s now emerged a small number of serving members are also being investigated to see if they passed on information to a criminal gang.
