Solicitor settles action after house mistakenly raided by armed gardaí searching for cannabis growhouse

A solicitor and his wife were victims of a "catastrophic mistake" when armed gardaí raided their home in a search of a cannabis grow house, the High Court has heard.

John Donald and Helena Flanagan, who the court heard have led blameless lives with no connection to crime, today settled their action against the Garda Commissioner and the State over the December 21, 2012, incident.
