Dublin Airport ‘Significant increase’ in drug busts

Drug seizures at ports, airports, and mail centres in the Republic of Ireland have more than doubled in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to the Irish Revenue Service.

It said it’s officials have seized €170 million (£143 million) worth of illegal drugs up to the end of August this year, compared with €75 million (£63 million) during the same period in 2023.

Over €3 million (£2.5 million) worth of cocaine and cannabis has been seized at Dublin Airport in the last two weeks.

Officers said smugglers were becoming “increasingly inventive,” with a number of people being arrested having concealed substances inside their bodies.
