I am informed by the Garda authorities that the most recent available information is in respect of the years 2007 to 2010. The tables set out the drug type, quantity and estimated street value of drugs seized in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The information has been compiled on the basis of cases reported to the Forensic Science Laboratory for Cork City, Cork North and Cork West Garda Divisions. Information in respect of the year 2011 is currently being compiled and I will arrange for it to be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available. Statistics provided are operational, provisional and liable to change.
