AN EXTENSIVE Garda file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to a man charged with the alleged possession of almost €100,000 worth of drugs in County Limerick last month.
Patrick Scanlon (52), a native of Loughill, Co. Limerick with an address in Jersey has been charged with the possession of cannabis worth in excess of €13,000 for the purpose of sale or supply at Churchview, Pallaskenry, Co Limerick on August 8 last.
The drugs, with a street value of €96,000, are understood to have originated in Spain and through a surveillance and customs operation, were intercepted by customs officials with the assistance of gardai from the Drugs Unit.
Solicitor John Devane asked that the State advance the prosecution so that his client would “know what is going on with his case”.
The matter was adjourned to October 1 with Scanlon remanded in continuing custody.
