Gun search led to cannabis find

GARDAÍ following up a report of a gun being held at a house in Blarney found a cannabis-growing operation during their search, Cork District Court heard yesterday.

Inspector Gary McPolin outlined the allegations against Daniel Siebold of 63 Riverview Estate, Tower, Blarney, Co Cork, so Judge Con O’Leary could decide on whether to deal with the case at district court level.

Judge O’Leary said it was suitable for the court and on the application of defence solicitor Frank Buttimer, he put the matter back to allow time for the prosecution to furnish statements to the defence.
