Keep up the pressure. We need more operations like this.

Just another headline to distract from the lack of real resources.

Total theater. They catch two guys and pretend the problem is solved.

I appreciate the hard work of the Gardaí in keeping our communities safe. However, I worry that without addressing the high demand for these substances, we are only fighting a losing battle.
