Two men jailed in European drugs bust

Two Limerick men involved in a sophisticated million-euro drugs network that stretched through the Netherlands, Germany, England, and the North to a rural cottage in Limerick were yesterday jailed at Limerick Circuit Court.

Shane Ferguson, a 46-year-old carpenter of Meadowbrook, Mill Rd, Corbally, was jailed for seven years and Kieran Nevin, aged 37, of Oliver Plunkett St, St Mary’s Park, was jailed for five years.

The court heard that Ferguson’s involvement was greater than that of Nevin.
