A significant quantity of drugs destined for an address in Tipperary have been seized by Revenue.

The contraband worth €140,000 was discovered at Shannon Airport last Thursday.

Revenue officers seized 7kg of herbal cannabis as a result of risk profiling and with the assistance of detector dog Harley.

The illicit drugs were discovered in a parcel which had originated from the Czech Republic and was bound for Tipperary.

The seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting smuggling and shadow economy activity.
