Wednesday, 12 March 2025 08:55

Around 10kg of herbal cannabis was seized by officers in the Midlands and Dublin.

Around 65 kilograms of herbal cannabis with an estimated value of almost €1.2 million was seized - with 10 kg of that amount seized by officers in the Midlands and Dublin while examining parcels.

However 55 kilos of the drug found by revenue officers came in one haul when a freight consignment, declared as a hot tub, was searched at Dublin Airport.

There's a long list of other illicit drugs that were seized over the week, and they include multiple other forms of cannabis.

1.5 kilos of resin, 10 ml of cannabis oil, and 156 grams of THC edibles were all found.

1,500 sedative pills, 7 nitrous oxide cannisters, along with a 120 gram haul of magic mushrooms were also discovered.

While separate operations in the midlands and Kilkenny turned up 11,000 cigarettes, and 1.6 kilos of rolling tobacco.

Revenue Officers are reminding the public, they can contact Revenue in confidence if they have any information regarding smuggling.
