Four years for drug courier

ONE would want to be living on Mars not to know the courts deal seriously with drugs cases, a judge told a businessman yesterday when jailing him for four years.

Daniel Aherne, 27, from Montpelier, O’Briensbridge, pleaded guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to having cannabis worth e49,250 for sale or supply.

The court heard that Aherne ran a successful roofing and carpentry business employing six people.
