OVER €670,000 WORTH of herbal cannabis, cannabis resin, and fake designer goods valued at approximately €113,000 were seized by Revenue officers in Dublin last week.
Various other quantities of other illegal drugs, worth almost €7,000, were also seized. These included quantities of cannabis oil, edibles, and Diazepam, Zopiclone and Benzodiazepine tablets.
The parcels containing the drugs were discovered as a result of risk profiling and with the assistance of sniffer dogs in panels that originated in the UK, the US, Canada, and Thailand, and were intended for addresses worldwide, revenue said.
A total of 27 kgs of herbal cannabis and 2 kgs of cannabis resin were placed at an approximate value of €550,000.
These seizures are part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting smuggling and shadow economy activity. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.

Closing comments at children’s hospital article .
Won’t stop people thinking
Cuz ideas has wings
@sakk sa: “Cuz ideas has wings”? I doubt you’ve ever had an idea of your own.
@Chutes: Yeah that’s original.
@Vince Cable: a lot of more original than anything you or your mates William & Buster have to say
@William Slevin: Oh look, our resident anti-immigrant ultra-nationalist is back.
Thinks he’s fighting whatever his mind (?) can conjure with a hero mentality as he stands tall against The Journal and everything else but it’s okay, he’ll get them all in court or so he says!
You can’t pay no attention to him down here, he exists in every open comments section to call us all names and decide whether or not we pass his secret pass/fail test standard.
You can’t read comments and ignore him but you can safely discount anything he says as being nonsense and get on with your life as if he didn’t exist at all.
@Chutes: I’m not reading all that
@Vince Cable: because you can’t?
@Chutes: Aw poor baby, you ran out of ideas?
@William Slevin: You can barely spell. What you wrote above is barely comprehensible. I doubt you’ll amount to much when all is said and done.
@Chutes: Chutes is fuming hahahahahhaha
@Vince Cable: You are so very weird, you asked me my name elsewhere, you coming to visit? I’ll be prepared. Stop projecting. It’s a strange thing you guys learn to do.
@William Slevin: In truth, you’re a basket case with a very poor grasp of basic grammar. Your paranoid conspiracies e.g. multi-user accounts etc,. is just ridiculous. Your life is clearly shallow, joyless and unfulfilled. You have a (not so) pent up derision and suspicion of others and you evidence a basic lack of empathy and understanding. There aren’t too many humorous articles on the Journal but your comments would make me laugh if I didn’t feel so sorry and embarrassed for you. You’re a typical example of the loud minority.
@Chutes: I surprised your mind foucus on immigrant like me, forgetting his own country wasted resources, for next generation.
By the way I pay my tax for past 17 years .
How you not care about your wasted tax.
Thank God you minority
@William Slevin: We’re all wrong little willie! How did we not identify you as our hero and elevate you to leader before now?
Laughing at you dude, you are laughable! You’re positively deluded by your ideas of your own brilliance!
@sakk sa: I didn’t focus on you immigrant or not, I focused on your poor grammar, the reason for which is now clear.
@Chutes: so you agree with closing down the comments on that article after the first 2 slag of the government??
“My only want is that green grass, that lovely green grass, and you want to take it away from me, and in the sight of God, I can’t let you do that!”

@honey badger: the bird had the sambos that’s all he wanted the worm.
Let people grow their own and you won’t have this problem with all it’s costs to the state, well, you may still get the clothes.
@Chutes: I would rather it cost the state than have the misfortune to constantly smell it on the daily.
@Daniel Skelton: or even the telly
@Daniel Skelton: You are truly misfortunate you poor soul!! It must be dreadful to be you and have to bear the weight of it! It really is a smell that puts the horrors many live through in perspective, poor you, you have my deepest sympathies!
@Chutes: Someone is angry :)
@Vince Cable: That’s the impression you got? People like you don’t anger me, you just motivate me to counter your crap is all.
@Chutes: You’re angry :)
@William Slevin: I’ve been kicking you around publicly for months dude! I do it largely for entertainment and to pass the time though it does sadden me that there are so many like you, so ignorant and malevolent, out there ngl.
@Chutes: What’s your name?
@Vince Cable: Why do you ask?
@Chutes: Hi Why do you ask, I’m Dan.
@Daniel Skelton: Okay, what?
@Chutes: Runs off crying when you ask his name. Chutes, I know you :)
@Vince Cable: What’s my name?
@Chutes: You’re so angry you don’t know your own name :)
Whatever happened the free range weed
@Phillip Smyth: Vulture funds
@Brian O’Brendan: or even vulture bums taking our weeds seen it all now.
Nearly 19 grand a kilo……. Makes sense considering they paid nearly 400k for a bike shelter
@Kev Barnes: mad valuation all right!!
Fake designer goods have a value? O?
Wham BAM heads are going to roll should be interesting, think I’ll do the free range grass.
I feel pity for all these guys who love to wear same clothing, we see them all over Crumlin, Finglas, Ballyfermot, Tallaght, Blanch, etc – all indigo men wearing same shoes, same clothing, same fringe hairstyle, all looking like c.lo.w.ns which they really are for all the rest of us. Such small brain must they have if all they care is branded stuff.
A lot of chicken cackle going on,lighten up it’s only about weed.
@Phillip Smyth: The lads are in it for ‘the pride’… it’s mildly entertaining tho
@Thesaltyurchin: hahaha indeed you couldn’t buy it entertaining to say the least, I just work for the guillotine company lol.
@William Slevin: Could be… I like the ‘Chicken cackle’ line… could be bait tho! *puts tinfoil hat on ;)
Mad this came from aboard (Cannabis), given how much is grown here and how simple it is, not sure why anyone would risk it, must be pretty desperate. Shame they don’t find the drugs that kill people. As long as it’s ‘illegal’ it counts I suppose, merits a ‘good job’… a load of frozen pizzas will go uneaten and Julie is not getting a flash of the latest bling arm candy
Great Dubs saying I would risk it for a biscuit.
Would you risk it for a biscuit? I wouldn’t risk it for the whole of Jacobs!
Or even wouldn’t
have your say
