They should just destroy the drugs and put her back on the plane and ban her from the country for life. The country hasn’t the money to be putting her in prison and trailing her.

Hiding drugs in a suitcase. Genius. Could she have picked a bigger cliche

Direct flight from Port O Spain to Dublin?? Don’t think so! Therefore she passed tru another European airport first. Why wasn’t she lifted there?

Well done to the officers who discovered this haul.

A 50 year old oulwan smuggling drugs. She is a bit long in the tooth for that carryon.

She’ll do 6 months in an open prison fought and won by our fantastic free legal aid scheme then the state will fly the rest of her family over here first class(so not to be seen to infringe on her human rights and house them all in 12 bed semi detached complements of Mr & Mrs Tax Man!!

Banged up abroad is scary for us,but it’s club Med to everyone else!

Well done to all involved .

she’ll be pretty happy with the hotel she’ll be staying in here for the duration of her sentence.

Will she be deported or is there a lifestyle choice available to anyone to fly into Ireland with a bag of huju in order to be put up by the state for a few years tax free, free bed and meals and opportunity to study, read and generally dissociate from life’s pressures?

I’d be tempted by a year in prison if i can bring my kindle, my grand piano and a few bottles of good cognac.

Should have used superglue

She may aswell of being carrying d stuff under her arm…

‘wan da Nidge

Is she an Irish citizen” the new Irish” if not she should be charged in court this morning and then put on plane back to where she came from.. We should not have to cover the cost of her incarceration . Full stop/period !!!

Defintely not raisens no?

(for the day thats in it!)

The issue is: did our border detect the drugs or were they known about in Tobago?
If they were known about before she hit Irish soil, she should never have landed here. Her presence is going to cost us hundreds of thousands of euro given a year in jail is eur65k and our leading law firms will be pocketing a huge lump as they do whenever a clock ticks in Ireland.
If it was not known before she got here that she was carrying drugs, then we have serious questions to ask of the authorities, airport and airline the brought her here.
The drugs could have been semtex and she could have a 9b battery and a wire in her pocket.
Is Ireland the incompetent joke or who?

cop on gob shites drugs should be legal a long time.
