Cannabis worth over €13k found at Cork house

An isolated 54-year-old man caught with over €13,000 worth of cannabis at his home in Coachford, Co Cork, was told to do everything the Probation Service told him to do and to expect the gardaí to call again to check his home for drugs.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said yesterday he was prepared to adjourn sentencing of John Walsh on those conditions. The judge warned the accused that if the gardaí found anything at his home, Walsh would be in trouble.

Judge Ó Donnabháin also repeated his advice to the accused to get a solicitor to represent him on free legal aid.
