The true spiking figures are expected to be higher, as many people don't report drinks tampering.
Gardaí investigated 106 spiking incidents in 2022 - twice as many as the year before.
62 incidents of drink and needle spiking were probed in 2021, while 12 were investigated in 2020.
The true figure is believed to be even higher, as many people don't report drinks tampering.
President Elect of the Vintners Federation of Ireland, and owner of Giltrap's Pub in Kinnity, John Clendennen, says he thinks the figures reflect a return to socialising after the Covid-19 pandemic:
