Over €100k in herbal cannabis has been discovered in the last week.
Contraband worth €355,000 has been seized in the midlands, Dublin, Rosslare Europort and Tipperary over the course of the last week.
The seizures include over 5.4kg of herbal cannabis, with an estimated value of €108,600, over 5,200 mixed tablets, with an estimated value of almost €10,300, and cash to the value of €42,750.

Separately, tobacco and alcohol products representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of over 10,400 euro were seized in various operations in the Midlands, Tipperary, and Wexford.
Over the past week, Revenue officers seized contraband with an estimated value of €355,000 in various operations in Dublin, the Midlands, Rosslare Europort and Tipperary.
The herbal cannabis and mixed tablets, together various other illicit drugs with a value of €1,350, were discovered, with the assistance of detector dogs Ciara and Enzo, whilst Revenue officers were examining parcels at premises in Dublin and the Midlands.
The parcels originated from France, India, the Netherlands and the UK, and were destined for addresses nationwide. 10 weapons were also seized in the Midlands.
The counterfeit goods were seized as they were confirmed by the Rights Holder to have infringed on Intellectual Property Rights.
During the operation in Tipperary, Revenue officers detained cash to the value of €42,750 during the search of a property under warrant.
On Friday Revenue officers were granted a 3 month detention order, in respect of this cash, by Judge Brian O’Shea at Clonmel District Court.
Investigations into all seizures are ongoing.
These seizures are part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting smuggling and shadow economy activity. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.
