Four awaiting sentencing in connection with drug fatalities

Three men and a woman who were links in a chain of supply of a drug which caused the deaths of two young Dungarvan men in Kinsale in September 2012 were remanded in custody until tomorrow for sentence.

Detective Garda Jason Wallace outlined how the deaths of Michael Coleman and Liam Coffey, both aged 22, at a rented house at Abbey Lane in Kinsale on September 10, 2012, sparked a major investigation into the source of the fatal consignment, and an unprecedented campaign to get the batch off the streets.

David McGrath, aged 25, and John O’Dwyer, aged 26, both with an address at 23 Roman St, Cork, David Maguire, aged 31, of 8 Harley Court, Togher, Cork, and Victoria McCormack, aged 22, of Cornmill apartments, Connell St, Cork, all pleaded guilty to a drug supply charge arising out of the case.
