Drug smuggler in fresh appeal attempt
In 2008, Perry Wharrie, aged 56, received a 30-year prison sentence — the longest ever handed down in the State for a drugs conviction — for his part in the bungled smuggling attempt at Dunlough Bay, Mizen Head, on July 2, 2007.
Wharrie, from Loughton in Essex, England, was unanimously found guilty by a Cork Circuit Criminal Court jury over the course of a trial that lasted 42 days.
