There may be an element of people trafficking in the case where a 32-year-old Vietnamese woman is charged with cultivating cannabis at luxury lakeside home, Tinarana House.

A 32-year-old Vietnamese woman charged with cultivating cannabis at Tinarana House told Gardaí that she was forced to do it.

The garda dog Laser found a woman hiding in the attic of a growhouse in Clare today where almost €900,000 worth of cannabis plants have been discovered.

The find was made at premises at Tinarana in Killaloe today.
