Cork man jailed for robbing post office to pay off €50k drugs debt

A Cork man who carried out a robbery at the post office in Little Island was under intense pressure to repay a €50,000 drugs debt to Dublin criminals who threatened his home with a pipe-bomb attack.

Detective Garda Edmond O’Donoghue said the threats made against John Paul Carey, 32, of 9 Brooklodge Grove, Glanmire, County Cork, to repay this debt were very real.
