Man extradited from Australia on drugs charges

A man who was extradited from Australia to face charges in connection with a seizure of almost €50,000 worth of cannabis in Dublin in 2005, has been remanded in custody pending trial.

Robert Burke (aged 26), a father-of-one of no current address, was arrested this week on foot of an extradition warrant after a six-year effort by gardaí to bring him back to Ireland.
