Findings made public by the Revenue Commissioner and Gardaí point to a booming presence of Latin American cartels in Ireland as reports describe a developing new trend of desperate favela dwellers being used as drug mules through Dublin Airport.
Having forged contacts with the Kinahan Cartel to make Ireland a cog in the flow of cocaine into Europe during the 2010s, Latin cartels now look to be cultivating their commercial interests with a shocking €45 million of narcotics being seized in Dublin Airport last month alone.
The rumbling of a drug ring in Killorglin, County Kerry connected to local business interests highlighted the growing footprint of the Latin cartels on our shores as foreign security correspondents turned their attention to Ireland’s absence of border and naval security as providing the South American gangsters safe cover for entering Europe.
Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and Colombian Clan del Golfo narco networks are the primary cartels probing Ireland as domestic gangland looks set to be potentially subordinated to the new criminal entrepreneurs.
It should be noted that while criminal both the aforementioned cartels have state-like capacity that easily dwarfs that of the Irish state itself.
While the cartels have so far relied on the Republic’s relaxed security outlook and existing Irish contacts, the country’s open-door migration policies may soon fuel another chapter in the narco wars.
Albanian people smugglers have already made Dublin Airport an important relay point onto the UK courtesy of our flimsy Irish asylum protocols, with the sudden presence of Latin American cartels testament to a looming security fissure opening up.
If the new new arrivals weren’t enough, it would appear that even the Iranians and Hezbollah are finding form running drugs through Ireland as shown by a spectacular and underreported drugs bust in Cork earlier this year.
Barely able to get a handle on local hoodlums during the Kinahan vs Hutch feud, advanced narco politics from the Mexican slums brought to Irish doorsteps is a catastrophe waiting to happen. The pebbles before the boulders are starting to be seen in a wider trend of Latin cartels muscling in on Ireland with their effect lethal should they properly get their talons.
Regardless of the frenzy over the far right in the press migration control is an essential part of national security with the early warning signs of a new crisis being seen at the customs desk of Dublin Airport.
What is a trickle for now can soon become a flow.

Is there anything left in Ireland that this shower of shite have not fu.ked
Unfortunately, the politicians are up to their necks in the illegal drugs trade. The Mexican cartels are just middle management.
For a braver man than I to investigate: Whatever happened to Sgt Keogh, in Athlone? He busted a heroin gang made up of Gardai. He was mentioned briefly, and there has been nothing about it since.
