Sniffer dogs nose out smuggled prison drugs

Attempts to smuggle drugs into prisons have fallen dramatically thanks to sniffer dogs.

Figures from the Irish Prison Service show that fewer than 100 visitors to jails have been caught trying to smuggle drugs since the start of last year.

However, the scale of people detected by sniffer dogs as having been in contact with drugs, but not having any drugs in their possession, is far larger.
