The largest cocaine seizure in the history of the Irish state and those behind it

A €500 million cocaine haul on the Waterford Cork coast involving army rangers, customs, Gardai, the Naval Service and Air Corps.
The Kinahan cartel and Iranian links to Hezbollah form key parts of the investigation.
But what does the hidden haul on the mothership MV Matthew really tell us about the cocaine industry and what people are willing to do to transport it?
Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about high drama in Irish waters and those who have come a cropper before.

    The west Cork coastline was a huge centre of piracy and smuggling in the 15 and 1600s before the golden age of piracy that we know in the Caribbean in the 1700s

    I once found a bag of Coke while walking my dog I sat down on a outdoor bench and it was in a empty crisp packet inside a empty can of beer, I went to throw the can in a bin when I noticed it, I thought it was rat poison so I brought it home and burned it. 3 weeks later I hear this story about how a kid working for a hard hitting guy owed a few grand because he was in charge of it. Turned out it was worth 6 grand I turned white I don’t bother with drugs felt sorry for the kid selling and it caused mayhem. That was over a decade ago .

    Nearly every 20 - 30 kilometres all around the Irish coast are lighthouses, with living quarters, most became automated in the late 80s early nineties, however if Ireland are serious about securing our coast line, these could easily either manned up by our Army, naval or revenue, providing a network of eyes on our coastline , or we invest in the latest radar technology, long rage video surveillance, or high altitude balloons with these capabilities to pinpointing rogue cargo ships or the fleets of smaller boats operating as courtiers all along our coastline, by utilising the lighthouses would be a deterrent, as a state we are not interested in prevention, we’re only interested in dealing with the consequences or fallout from such trivialities.

    Or maybe start jailing the white collar professional criminals i.e bankers, accountants, lawyers, judges, police brass, customs agents on the take etc... do that then watch the drug trade grind to a halt, it's these people that allow and facilitate the movement, sale and supply of drugs not just in Ireland but worldwide, most of the banks in America and Florida in particular are propped up with laundered drug money going back decades

    Did I read some where that the Irish are the highest consumers of cocaine in Europe? I am open to contradiction on this as I am inquiring more so than stating. There are a lot of jokes in a good humored way about the Irish world wide and in the US that the Irish would rule the world if they didn't drink, the Paddy Wagon is a vehicle police use to arrest people in brawls, it supposedly was given the name because Paddy was an Irish name and it was mostly Irish they arrested. It is true the Irish are first over here with substance abuse problems, although a very proud race. Are we turning our behaviors into a joke and making a laugh out of things from fear. Whether the Irish have the highest rate of cocaine use in the EU. or not we all know cocaine can be a deathly drug too. They need to advertise more treatment programs for cocaine users and in depth acknowledgement that it is and can be a killer drug. We mustn't allow the Irish use of cocaine to become a world wide joke too. Very serious. A terrible loss of life.
