The drugs were found in a secluded area growing next to a house in Ballyhinch near Cregg Cross and have now been taken away for analysis.

While there have been similar such seizures in the past, Gardaí say this haul is the largest find of growing cannabis in the Killaloe District.

No arrests have been made at this stage but the investigation which was coordinated by Sergeant Joe Fallon and Garda Darren McLoughlin of Scariff Garda Station is ongoing and investigating officers are urging anyone with information who who may have noticed suspicious activity in the area to contact them on 061 620540
