More than 2.2 tonnes of suspected cocaine was recovered from the MV Matthew on Wednesday. The vessel, which remains in Cork port, is now being forensically examined.
Following a consultation with the Director of Public Prosecutions, the two men have been charged with conspiracy to import drugs offences.
Five other men were arrested and remain in custody at this time.
