Cllr Anthony Kelly has welcomed a
second drugs seizure by the customs team at Rosslare Europort. The Wexford Borough Councillor said the
seizure of cannabis worth €1.2 million which came just twenty four hours after
Ralph the customs dog discovered €1.5 million of heroin showed the incredible
efficiency of the staff at Rosslare Europort and also revealed the amount of
illegal substances that dealers are attempting to move into the south east.
Cllr Kelly said;
"The customs team at
Rosslare Europort cannot be praised enough for preventing a bank holiday bonanza
of illegal drugs from making it into Wexford town and the surrounding towns and
villages of the south east. Clearly
dealers see a potential mass market for these substances in this region. The vigilance of staff at the port,
particularly super sniffer dog Ralph, may have saved lives in this town over
the bank holiday weekend."
"The efficiency of the
customs team in Rosslare shows just why it is rightly considered a world class
port by Sinn Féin. We have consistently
called for further development at the port so that it can accommodate larger
international freight and ship it out faster.
At least we know now that as Rosslare Europort grows it will not be an
easy target for the international drugs trade."
