Gardaí dismantle drug supply network

Gardaí have dismantled a sophisticated drug supply network after a six-month undercover operation in Cavan.

The operation, code-named Nettle, targeted a number of “significant players” in the neighbouring towns of Bailieborough and Cootehill.

Nine people — six men and three women — were arrested in a dawn operation led by detective units from the Cavan/Monaghan division, in conjunction with the Garda National Drugs Unit.
