Sniffer dog identifies €1m heroin haul

Customs officials used a sniffer dog to help them when they detected heroin valued almost €1m, which was concealed in furniture that arrived in a container at Dublin Port, the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard today.

Mr Michael O’Sullivan (aged 51), with addresses at Courtown Drive, Knocknaheeny, Cork and Model Farm Road, Cork, denies that on April 1, 2003, he attempted to unlawfully posses heroin for purpose of sale or supply.
