REVENUE HAS SEIZED almost €50,000 worth of cannabis and ecstasy tablets on a shipment of parcels posted to Ireland yesterday.

Revenue and Customs officers at the Dublin Mail Centre made the discovery in 14 separate parcels originating from the United States and Netherlands. The packages were declared as ‘fabric’, ‘gloves’, ‘bathrobe’ and a ‘denim hooded jacket’.

All of the parcels were destined for addresses in Dublin.

Upon searching through the items, revenue officials discovered 3.25 kg of herbal cannabis and 215 ecstasy tablets with an estimated street value of €48,850.

    That was a Kodiaq. And for a 7 seat SUV that starts at 28k, its a steal. That one in the RDS was spec’d to the gills.

    There was a lovely white one at the RDS Ideal Home Show a few weeks ago, but with its extras, it was €45k. It’s huge as well! Don’t think I’d get that if I was to spend that much on a car.
