Cannabis and herbal marijuana have re-emerged as the dominant product in the Irish drugs trade as an affordable 'high' replacing the cocaine-fuelled market of the economic 'boom' period, gardai say.
Detectives from the Garda National Drugs Unit and Customs officers were yesterday weighing and examining the largest haul of cannabis resin and herbal marijuana seized in Ireland since the break up of John Gilligan's cannabis empire in the late 1990s.
Some 630kg of cannabis resin and 180kg of herbal marijuana were seized in an operation on Friday.
