Two men have been arrested after more than €1m in cash was found by gardaí in the outskirts of Limerick.

The men in their 40s and 50s from Limerick were arrested when they were found digging up the cash at the time.

The money is believed to be the proceeds of crime.

This is actually widespread, numerous dealers with a few quid to spare Bury it.

I'd always be afraid of forgetting where I put it though!

Apparently they had it in an old footsafe in a garden shed but reburied it a few years ago, leaving only a couple of jam jars behind.

If I had a million squid in cash I sure as feck wouldn't be caught digging it up from the ground. It sounds like a bad movie plot.

They should have bought themselves a car wash to launder the money.

Say you just happened to be out digging and found this million quid, what would you do with it?
you'd be found out quick enough if you bought a house, new car etc..

Or would you just hand it in?

I'd hide it under the floor boards and just use it for day to day living.

Smoke a whole lot of weed. Dealer probably isn't gonna get suspicious and report you to revenue...

Wouldn't buy a new house with it as it would be totally suspicious, but renting would be ok. Not a new car either, just a different car.

But yes, I would totally make the best of that sweet sweet drug money.:pac:

Martin Cahill buried money where they built a bypass.

Also, there is apparently two priceless paintings that still remain in the Dublin mountains (a pair of Venetian scenes by Guardi) .

From RTÉ News "The money is believed to be the proceeds of crime".

Doubt they're priceless anymore,

It is the largest amount of cash seized in the history of the State.

The 53-year-old convicted criminal, was one of two men caught in the process of transferring the money buried underground, into a container on land at Portcrusha, Montpelier, Co Limerick when gardaí swooped on the scene,
He was held for questioning under Drugs Trafficking legislation but was released without charge this evening and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
The other man was released without charge last night.
Both men were drying out the wads of cash in a tumbler drier in the container when gardaí made the arrests.
A digger which was being used to retrieve the buried cash was also located at the scene.
The buried cash was wrapped in plastic and stored in boxes and hidden several feet under the ground.



What would they be charged with ? It's not illegal to bury money ?

I feel so sickened I have ran, cycled, and driven past this exact location atleast once a week for a few years and never once thought to dig up the field and become a millionaire.
