A 65-year old farmer today pleaded guilty to a charge in connection with the dumping of 12 decomposing animal carcasses from a 300 ft high cliff four years ago in west Clare.

A Limerick man told gardaí in interview that a mother-of-three he is accused of threatening to kill was a “crack-head” who had a “vendetta” against him, the Special Criminal Court has heard today.

A CONVICTED murderer was found with 73 ready-for-sale bags of heroin when his cell was searched at Limerick prison.

WHEN Limerick gardaí raided the site of a new house they discovered the area strewn with boxes and bags of cannabis worth €1.3 million.
