Galway Bay fm newsroom – There was a major surge in the amount of drugs seized across Galway last year.
Concern was raised at today’s meeting of the County Joint Policing Committee, where it was noted that heroin is now the second most common drug seized by Gardai.
Last year, Gardai across Galway recorded 148 offences of individuals having drugs for sale or supply.
That’s an increase of almost 50 percent compared to the figure recorded the previous year.
At this weeks meeting of the County JPC, Garda Chief Superintendent Tom Curley accepted that what Gardai seize is just the tip of the iceberg.
