The elected members of the Ballina Municipal District praised the work of Gardai in seizing €330,000 worth of drugs in the locality last week, at their monthly meeting which took place last Friday in the Ballina Arts Centre. Cathaoirleach of the district, Cllr Michael Loftus, led the tributes - pointing out that the Mayo Joint Policing Committee had been pressing the Gardai to tackle the scourge of drugs, which was responded to by the setting up of a divisional drugs task force by Chief Supt Tony Healy. However, Cllr Loftus added that one part of the seizure was sinister and frightening, in regard to the detection of ammunition during the search operation that led to the seizure.
