GARDAÍ HAVE FOUND heroin with an estimated street value of €100,000 in an apartment in Tallaght.
The search, planned by the Tallaght Drugs Unit, uncovered the drugs yesterday afternoon. Drug paraphernalia was also recovered.
A 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene and was detained at Tallaght Garda Station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1996.
He subsequently appeared before Tallaght District Court charged in connection with this incident this morning.
Glad this filth is off the street and the police haven’t forgotten to go after real threats and dangerous criminals instead of shutting down all the plant nurseries they have been busy doing all year
Those nurseries as you call them are still illegal. Guardrail enforce the law they don’t make them
Plant nurseries? Are you for real?
Gardai* there are no police in Tallaght
The Gardaí is the name of the police force. If they are not police, what are they?
Excellent work. Keep up the pressure on all those who deal in illegal drugs.
Leagalise everything that’s illegal and tax it and the world will be right again??? Pilib you are deluded!!
Cue the recriminations and gunfire.
In next weeks news , 2 post offices robbed, a tiger kidnapping on a bank and and atm pulled out of a wall with a jcb .
The war on drugs just causes more violent crime.
So what just let them continue their illegal trade? Sure why prosecute criminals at all so?
Yes all because whatever gang he belonged to will have to raise funds to cover this bust. Not to mention the people who will more than likely be shot for providing information to the Gaurds. Best of legalize it all. Tax it and educate. It had worked in Portugal.
Legalise heroin? Yeah sure. What could possibly go wrong? Daft comment.
@Pilib
They didn’t legalize it in Portugal. They decriminalised it, but it is still illegal to sell. Decriminalising means that you can have personal usage amounts on you, but the selling of it is illegal. I think that is a good idea as it allows people with serious addiction problems to get help without being labelled a criminal.
These steps in Portugal have proved very successful and it is something that should be considered here, in my humble opinion.
I doubt €100k worth of it was for personal use!
have your say
