‘Stop acting the eejit… get off the old drugs’

A 51-year-old who claimed he was being “picked on” by “only Killarney gardaí”, is on a dossier of drug suspects held in Killarney Garda Station, it emerged during a case in which he denied obstructing a garda who suspected him of having drugs.

Daniel “Benjy” Riordan from Killarney, and now of 13 Shallee Drive, Cloughleigh, Ennis, Co Clare, had denied obstruction of Garda Stephen Hourigan during a drugs search at Beech Road car park on December 23, 2015.

Heated exchanges took place in the case at Killarney District Court.
