There has been a massive increase in the amount of drugs being seized in the country's postal system over the last three years by customs officers.
Exclusive figures obtained by the 'Herald' showed that up until November 7, more than €1.5m of drugs were intercepted in An Post offices nationwide during the first 10 months of 2016.
This compares with €72,890 worth of drugs stopped in postal centres in the whole of 2010.
The internet has become an increasingly popular way for people to buy drugs over the past three years, resulting in a spike in postal centre finds.
