Seven people arrested on Monday as part of a major operation against drugs gangs in west Dublin, have been released without charge.

The seven, who included one woman in her 30s and six men ranging in age from 17 to 22, were detained after more than 30 business and residential properties were searched.

The target of the so-called super-raid was a gang that last year planted a pipe bomb which exploded outside the home of a garda’s elderly parents.

Gardaí are preparing a file on the arrests for the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
