A "click and collect" service for drink, drugs, and phones has been uncovered at Mountjoy Prison in Dublin.

Around 10 thousand tablets, cocaine, alcohol and up to 30 mobiles have been seized at the jail today.

It's the largest single seizure of contraband in an Irish Prison, with a Garda investigation now underway.
