The seizure was part of a profiling by the customs service. The joint operation with Gardai resulted in the seizure of 140g of heroin with an estimated street value of €21,000.
The woman was arrested under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 and is currently being held at Ballymun Garda Station.
It is the second seizure of heroin to date this year at Dublin airport.
