Man jailed after being found with €1m heroin haul
A cocaine addict with a history of serious drug offences has been jailed for 12 years for possessing €1m worth of heroin in a car at the M50 Toll Plaza outside Dublin.
Kieran Fitzpatrick (aged 31) finished a four-year drug sentence in 2005 but claimed he’d been under "a lot of pressure" to clear €40,000 he owed to drug dealers and agreed to take part in the heroin job.
