Judgement reserved in appeal against drugs conviction

The Court of Criminal Appeal has reserved judgement in the case of two men who claim they were “stitched up” by gardaí for the possession of heroin worth €43,000 in a wooded area in Co Cork over two years ago.

Aidan Finnegan (aged 30), with an address at Farranferris, Farranree, Co Cork, and his co-accused, Alan Morrison (aged 31), of Coultry Road, Ballymun, Dublin, had pleaded not guilty to the possession of 215 grams of heroin at Brooklodge Grove, Glanmire on September 5, 2008.
