Gardaí seize 15kg of heroin worth €2m

Senior drug workers have praised gardaí in seizing 15kg of heroin in the largest haul of the drug in almost four years.

They expressed alarm at what the scale of the cache says about the size of the heroin market and trends in its usage nationally.

The seizure in west Dublin is estimated to be worth €2.25m and is expected to affect supply of the drug on the streets of Dublin and beyond.
