Suspected cannabis plants with an estimated value of €432,800 were seized by gardaí during the search on Friday evening.
The drugs seized will now undergo further analysis with Forensic Science Ireland.
Gardaí said two men, one aged in his 30s and the other in his 20s, were on Saturday detained at a Garda station in the west of the country under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
