Over €38 has been taken in, in 2020.
The amount of drugs seized by Revenue has increased by at least 60 per cent this year.
Over 38 million euro worth of substances was recovered in the first ten months of this year.
These new figures have been released by Revenue under the Freedom of Information Act.
In all of 2019, just over 23.6 million euro worth of drugs were recovered.
Over 14 million euro more were seized in the first ten months of this year than in all of last year.
Of the 38 million euro recovered, 17.1 million euro was by Revenue’s Dublin Port branch.
Nationally, 63 per cent of the total was cannabis, amounting to nearly 24 million euro.
9.7 million euro was cocaine or heroin.
Retired detective inspector based in Mullingar Pat Marry says the increase in seizures is welcome.
Revenue says the rise in the number of drug seizures, and value of drugs recovered, is down to several factors.
These include the deployment of staff 24/7 at Dublin Port, Rosslare Port and Dublin Mail Centre.
