Court denies conviction appeal in Cork heroin case
An appeal brought by two men who claimed they were “stitched up” by gardaí for the possession of heroin worth €43,000 in a wooded area in Co Cork more than two years ago has been dismissed this morning by the Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA).
Aidan Finnegan (aged 30), with an address at Farranferris, Farranree, Co Cork, and 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.
