Three people arrested after over €37k worth of cannabis, crack cocaine and diamorphine seized

Gardaí seized the drugs in Clondalkin, Dublin yesterday.

THREE PEOPLE HAVE been arrested after gardaí seized cannabis, crack cocaine and diamorphine worth €37,440. 

Based on intelligence gathered, gardaí yesterday located three males in a tent hidden in dense undergrowth in Clondalkin, Dublin. 

A search of the tent revealed a drug packaging and distribution facility. 

Cannabis valued at €15,080, crack cocaine valued at €6,400 and diamorphine worth €15,960 were seized (all subject to analysis). 

All three males were arrested and are currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at Clondalkin and Ballyfermot Garda Stations. 

Follow-up searches carried out in surrounding areas involving the Garda Dog Unit resulted in the discovery of 108 packets of cigarettes and other tobacco products valued at approximately €1,400. 

These operations represent a significant distribution in drug dealing activity along the canal in Clondalkin, according to gardaí.

    What a load of tosh.. A weather warning for night time temperatures of between 11 and 16 degrees for a few days.. Although the weather has been warm lately there has been a persistent cool eastern breeze and it’s making the evening very cool.. A weather warning for not even normal summer weather..

    Humidity – which is the amount of water vapour in the air – and ground temperature are not interlinked. So, you can have a relatively low temperature like sixteen degrees but very high humidity levels at the same time. This is what makes for muggy conditions when people complain about it being very “close”. You don’t need a degree in meteorology to understand this.

    A night time temperature of 11 degrees… you’d need a light jacket at that temperature! Oppressively warm! What a joke
