A bus passenger travelling from Dublin to Cork during a Covid lockdown with over €17,000 worth of heroin got so nervous with gardaí he claimed he was visiting his aunt but could not recall the address – or even remember her name.

32-year-old Jason Landy who was living at Rope Walk, Blackrock, Cork, has now been jailed for the crime.
