Corrupt port and airport workers ‘central’ to operations of organised crime gangs in Ireland

  1. 2 Gardaí that cover both Ballymun and Dublin airport, 2. That’s it, really, just 2 Gardaí.

    Something rotten, all the way to the top.

  2. They needed to do a report on this? Honestly, how could drugs be getting through were it not for corruption? Instead of wasting time reporting on tried and tested methods that the dogs in the street could tell you about they should follow the money trail from the post-sale, that’s a report I’d like to learn more about

  3. This is hardly a surprise .
    add in our coastline that is monitored by one boat and how easy it is to fly into this country undetected but a dream for hands to operate here.

  4. Just my two cents, but it’s probably hard to convince people making €12 an hour to not accept a bribe of €500 or €1000 a month to look the other way when it comes to their jobs at an airport.

    If they made more money, it would probably be easier to convince them not to take the risk of going to prison for letting drugs in.

  5. I don’t really understand though, if it’s so easy to get drugs into the country, why the fuck are they so expensive?

  6. >The publication comes just a day after the sentencing to 21 years for Irish criminal and Kinahan Organised Crime Group leader Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh for a drug importation racket in the UK.

    21 years? Jesus lads! Its not like he didn’t pay his TV licence!

  7. Jim Mansfield flew mountains of drugs in to Citywest Airport with zero checks, made such a fortune he appeared on The Late Late as a “self made business man”. Gardai and customs were clearly in his pocket. His scumbag cokehead son has just gone to jail.
