How are people supposed to pay for the “extras” and penalties on a Ryanair flight then? (my spellchecker automatically capitalised Ryanair – even my phone is afraid to step out of line)

Are u not allowed have 10 thousand before d u have too declare ?

Christmas shopping?

How do our politicians manage to bring our money with them when they go abroad on jollys??

Nice work Customs – on the ball again.

If it was all in coins it may have attracted attention … Especially if it was all that extra weight on a Ryan Air flight!!!

I thought you were innocent until proven guilty? Seems to me the likes of bankers and politicians can feck off to USA with the trousers full of cash and when a lad has a few quid squirrelled away in his suitcase for fear of being robbed its another story. Consistency is everything. Not that I think they were up to any good but people should be treated equally in the eyes of the law and white collar crime seems to be doing better at getting away with it.

Yes it appears that The Revenue Custom officers were on the look-out for these lads…..It was either a tip-off, or these lads are well known to have committed crimes, will have to wait and see….Can’t understand why the 1st lad had 4000 euro concealed in his baggage, he could have put this in his wallet, 8 x 500, wouldn” have created much of a bulge in his wallet imho…..

So I’m not allowed to carry 3.7k on a flight? Hardly a big drug deal money. Nanny state at it again.

Unvouched expences….

Unless this smacks of crime , this is unbelievable ! Those are not huge amounts , so nothing is private and confidential, more rights taken away from us in various forms ! Big brother watching every move ! Looking to squeeze every penny from us , holding us upside down and gabbing the last few coins that fall out if pockets ! To me this this is daylight robbery! What about people that don’t have bank accounts , want a bit of cash to go on holidays etc ! Robbin hood ! To pay those that are able to work ,unwilling to work , drink cigarettes and tattoos ! Why the hell should I hand over hard earned cash ! Don’t know about anyone else , but am spitting mad ! Rights and privileges taken away from us at every turn ! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Was it Mario Balotelli?…

Well done revenue. But you should lay off those those arriving from non EU countries carrying a few children’s presents and clothing for Christmas.

Fly to another city and get the train…

Fairly sad the country is fu;€ed defo a drug run tho!

jeez, it’s not like they were carrying vast amounts of money – crickey, I’d spend that much on a night out…. what you can’t have a good time anymore without being labelled a criminal – sure the price of two hookers, a room at the Ritz and enough michael to feed an army would set me back $50,000 – and it’s not like u can get all three in Mickland

Slow news day, or a warning not to empty the piggy bank if heading to Amsterdam, “but I only wanted to buy daffodils for me ma ossifer”.
