The vast majority of internet-bought drugs uncovered in Ireland – about €2 million worth of which was seized last year alone – do not come from facilities that have been regulated and inspected to EU safety and quality standards.
A total of 5,757 medical seizures was made by Revenue in 2010, representing almost 80 per cent of drug seizures made by customs officers last year. Of this figure 5,641 seizures were of illicit medicines intercepted in the post and seized.
