- Investigators say the parcel was picked up by routine postal screening that uses scans and sniffer dogs, then delivered under surveillance to the building.
- The suspect was detained for questioning under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, which allows extended holding in drug-trafficking probes.

- Forensic Science Ireland will test the material to confirm its nature and weight, and officials have not announced any charge yet.
