Judgment reserved in case against man accused of conspiring to procure weapons

The CCA has reserved judgment in an appeal brought by a man against his conviction for conspiring to procure weapons including rocket launchers for a criminal gang running its business from prison.

In February 2008, Glen Geasley (aged 28), Innishmore Drive, Ballincollig, Co Cork, was sentenced to 12 years in jail with five years suspended by Judge Patrick Moran after the weapons were recovered in a covert Garda operation following a joint operation with the UK police, at the Ibis Hotel, Dunkettle in Cork in April 2007.
