A FOURTH man is to appear before a special sitting of Limerick District Court today (Sunday) in connection with Friday’s planned Garda raid on a cannabis factory in Limerick City.

Three men already faced charges and appeared before the court yesterday, in connection with the seizure of up to €300,000 worth of cannabis at a residence in the city on Friday (April 26).

€300,000 worth of cannabis and cannabis plants was seized in Friday’s planned Garda operation at a residence on Clare Street in Limerick City, along with €10,000 in cash.

The raid took place shortly before midday on Friday when armed Gardaí using a battering ram assisted drug squad officers in gaining entry to the property.

Four men were arrested at the premises and held under the Criminal Justice Drug Trafficking Act, 1996.
