Cocaine being sent from Ireland to Australia where drugs gangs can maximise profits
New figures from Revenue show there were 9,541 drug seizures in Ireland up to November 30 this year, worth €203.6m.
Cocaine is being shipped in small packages from Ireland to Australia, where the drugs gangs can maximise their profits, according to a senior customs official.
Michael Gilligan, head of customs at Dublin Airport, says multi-agency taskforces believe the drugs are being trafficked to take advantage of that market.
