I am informed by the Garda authorities that the data requested for the quantities, type and estimated values of drugs seized in An Garda Síochána's Galway Division are outlined in the tables below.

Figures are provided by the Garda Síochána Analyst Service and are based on quarterly data produced by the Forensic Science Laboratory.

The Programme for Government affirms the Government's steadfast commitment to tackling the problem of drug misuse through the National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016. An Garda Síochána's Policing Plan for this year also sets out key actions for tackling organised crime including drug trafficking. In this regard, An Garda Síochána remains fully committed to continuing to vigorously tackle the illegal supply of drugs at all levels.
