Court adjourns appeal cases for pair convicted in connection with €440m drugs haul

Appeals brought by two men convicted in connection with the biggest-ever drugs haul in the history of the State have been adjourned to later this year.

Martin Wanden and Perry Wharrie, both from England, were jailed following their convictions for their roles in the bungled smuggling of €440m worth or 1.5 tonnes of cocaine at Dunlough Bay, Mizen Head, Co Cork on July 2, 2007.
