Galway Garda Chief vows to keep up pressure on drug gangs as seizures soar

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Galway Garda Chief is vowing to keep up the pressure on drug gangs as seizures soar across the county.

Figures presented at a meeting of the County Joint Policing Committee this week revealed busts are up by 230 percent compared to last year.

Drug-driving detections have also risen by well over 100 percent during that time - with cocaine and cannabis the most common substances.
