Revenue officers have been granted a three-month cash detention order at Dublin District Court today.
Judge Bryan Smyth granted the order this morning following a cash seizure at Dublin Port yesterday.
The cash, €36,750 and £40,000 GBP, was discovered following routine examinations of vehicles travelling from Holyhead.
Revenue detector dog James showed an interest in a particular vehicle which was then stopped and searched by officers.
