A man caught with heroin valued at almost €11 million - the then largest single seizure of the drug in the history of the State - has been remanded in custody pending sentence by Judge Katherine Delahunt at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Stephen Carlile (aged 23), was paid €400 per week to mind almost €11.5 million worth of heroin and cannabis, along with a stash of guns and ammunition in his apartment at Aras na Cluaine, Nangor Road, Clondalkin.
