KHAT WITH AN estimated value of €367,000 was seized by Revenue officers at Dublin Airport yesterday.
The illegal drugs weigh 734kg in total and were seized as part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting drug smuggling and shadow economy activity.
Khat is a stimulant with similar effects to amphetamine. It comes from a leafy green plant of the same name.
The joint intelligence-led operation was conducted by Revenue’s customs service and the Garda national drugs and organised crime bureau.
Investigations are ongoing.
Separately, on Tuesday herbal cannabis with an estimated value of €35,950 was seized by Revenue officers at Dublin Mail Centre.
The illegal drugs weighed 1.8kg in total and were discovered in 13 separate parcels, all of which originated from the United States.
Between 1 January and 29 February of this year, Revenue officers in mail centres nationwide have detected and seized drugs with an estimated value of €1.2 million.
If businesses or members of the public have any information regarding smuggling they have been advised to contact Revenue in confidence on the freephone number 1800 295 295.

I think it’s mad that the English are so into Mrs Browne’s Boys. Is it as popular in Ireland or is it a Dublin thing mainly? Genuine question…
It’s the type of humour. If you look back at English comedies 60′s to 80′s they were largely over the top lampoon type charachter driven like mrs brown.
If the bbc or whoever tried to make something similar today theyd be feicked from a height for making such a throwback, gap in the market fully exploited by what’s his name, I take my hat off.
But to answer your question it’s a generational thing I’d wager.
Yeah It seems that it’s very popular in the UK! I was in Scotland for the summer and had numerous people ask me If I had ever seen Mrs Brown’s Boys. Its filmed in Glasgow too.
The viewers should have been thanking the BBC for any interruption to Mrs Brown’s boys
It’s sh*te everywhere you go
Even after passing away Mandela was briefly able to make the world a better place. Wonder did any of Mrs Browns UK viewers actually know who Mandela was before the interruption.
