Revenue Customs Service and An Garda Síochána intercepted narcotics with a combined street value of approximately €11.5 million during three distinct operations at Dublin Port over the weekend.
The seizures, which included significant quantities of cocaine and cannabis, were executed across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, marking a concentrated enforcement effort at one of Europe’s key maritime gateways.
