Accomplice in Ireland's biggest drug-smuggling case jailed
The youngest of the men involved in Ireland’s biggest ever drug-smuggling case was jailed for 10 years today as it was claimed that he ended up in jail because he stayed around to raise the alarm to save the life of a drowning accomplice.
Gerard Hagan, aged 24, could have run away like another man involved in the crime but he stayed around to call the emergency services, his senior counsel, James O’Mahony said yesterday.
