Cork man on €40k heroin charge

A Cork man on trial for having €40,000 worth of heroin told gardaí it was a dirty drug he disapproved of, it had nothing to do with him and he had only gone to Limerick to get papers for his pet Chihuahua.

Daniel Wyse, from 35 Glenfields Park, Ballyvolane, Cork, denied charges of having heroin for sale or supply at Halfway, Crossroads, Rathduff, Co Cork, on February 15, when its street value exceeded €13,000.

Questioned at the scene by Garda Jamie O’Riordan, Mr Wyse said he knew nothing about heroin only what he read in the Evening Echo, he thought it was a dirty drug which shouldn’t be on the streets and he had only gone to Limerick to get papers for his dog.
