Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. - National Drugs Strategy: Motion.

 

The scale of drug trafficking was brought home to us last year when a seizure valued at €25 million on its way to this island, North and South, was intercepted in Belgium. It was, apparently, on its way to paramilitaries whom we are advised are earning in the region of €8 million to €12 million in any given year. That is something to behold. It further indicates the seriousness of the challenge with which we are faced.
