On Saturday 2 March 2024, Revenue officers seized about 36 kg of herbal cannabis, valued at €720,000, concealed in vacuum-packed packages in the luggage of a passenger arriving from Toronto, Canada, at Dublin Airport. Lee Somers, a man from Limerick, was arrested and detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, and held at Ballymun Garda Station for two days before being charged with three offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act. He was remanded in custody at Dublin District Court on 4 March 2024 and the case was adjourned to Cloverhill District Court for DPP directions. Somers later pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis for sale or supply and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment by Judge Martin Nolan in March 2026.
