A 49-year-old man has been jailed for five years after he was caught with €700,000 worth of cannabis in CorkA 49-year-old man with no previous convictions has been jailed for five years after he was caught with €700,000 worth of drugs in a warehouse in Cork.
Eugene Barrett, with an address at Smithgrove Terrace, Middle Glanmire Road, pleaded guilty last month to possessing €700,000 worth of drugs for sale or supply at Ardrostig, Bandon Road on September 29th last, contrary to Section 15A of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. Det Garda Eoin O’Toole, of the Cork City Divisional Drugs Unit, told Cork Circuit Criminal Court that gardaí and Revenue customs officers carried out a joint investigation after 35kg of cannabis was initially intercepted at a holding unit in Spain.
He said the cannabis was then brought into Ireland and held at the Bandon Road storage unit and the joint investigation led them to Barrett, who made admissions in relation to the haul when he was arrested and questioned about it.
