Two in court in connection with €550k drugs haul

Garda Ger Doolan said that when he put the charges to Ms Sutton she replied: “I’m sorry. I was stupid.”

Two people appeared at a special sitting of Tullamore District Court earlier this afternoon in connection to a €550,000 drugs find in Portlaoise two days ago.

Chris Carroll and Fiona Sutton, both 36, with addresses at 82 Rossvale, Portlaoise were before the court charged with possessing drugs and with possessing drugs for the purpose of sale or supply at their address on April 8.
