Prison officer back in custody

A 51-YEAR-OLD prison officer was remanded at Limerick District Court on four charges alleging the possession of drugs last Monday.

Thomas Corry of Aughrim, Scariff, Co Clare, was given bail on condition that he signs on daily at Killaloe Garda Station and surrendered his passport.

Gda Monica O’Reilly, of Roxboro Road Garda Station, gave evidence of arresting the accused and charging him at 3.15pm yesterday. She said he made no reply to the charge.
