Collopy brothers jailed for eight years after being caught 'red handed' packing heroin

The jailing of the kingpins of the Collopy drug gang for eight years could signal the collapse of their crime empire, writes David Raleigh.

Brothers Brian and Kieran Collopy were each "caught red handed" in the kitchen of a house, packing €37,000 worth of heroin, to be sold to wholesalers for distribution on the streets of Limerick.
