Kinahans linked to €37m cannabis haul

Gardaí and Customs have made the biggest seizure of cannabis in 20 years and suspect the under-pressure Kinahan cartel were behind the shipment.

Senior sources said the haul — just under two tonnes and worth an estimated €37.5m on the street — is “staggering in its scale” and the biggest since the seizure of 13 tonnes of cannabis in Urlingford, Co Kilkenny, in 1996.

The 1.87 tonnes of cannabis herb was confiscated at Dublin Port after a joint operation by Garda and Customs.
