OVER €876,000 worth of cocaine has been seized at Rosslare Europort in Co Wexford.
The approximately 12.5kg worth of cocaine was discovered after Revenue officers stopped and searched an accompanied freight unit that had disembarked a ferry from Cherbourg in France on Saturday.
A man, aged in his 50s, was arrested by gardaí. He is currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a garda station in Co Wexford.
Revenue said this seizure was made as part of its work targeting and shadowing economy activity.
Businesses or members of the public with information regarding smuggling can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.

No snow forecast for tonight!
@KTH: yeah, that’s his white Christmas gone
Of course this will have zero impact on drug supply, and gives dealers a great excuse to charge more, meaning more profits for gangd.
And of course it cost taxpayers thousands to capture this small amount of drugs. And to waste court time and polo r resources.
A lose lose for everyone except some gangs.
Great work.
@Chris O’Brien: You really never have anything positive to say.sad.
@John Terry: I disagree troll
@Chris O’Brien: So what should have happened then, give it back and tell him next time bring in a bigger amount, because this amount is not worth the hassle!
The ongoing :war on drugs” that costs millions and achieves very little.
@Pato: Should we just let people at it and make them all legal?
@John Terry: yes
@John Terry: That is how individual freedom should work, alas we must fall in line to keep the upper lip nice and stiff.
@Thesaltyurchin: We must be one of the worst people in the world for having zero personal responsibility……everything is the governments fault with us.Do you think access to hard drugs is a good idea.I bet as well people will expect them to be free as well …….’my entitlements’
Awful for the dealer, just before Christmas.
