A €50,000 stash of heroin in a Lidl bag under a garden shed in Grenagh was sniffed out by a Garda dog and now the man responsible for the drugs has been jailed for three years.

Detective Sergeant Joe Young said members of the Garda divisional drugs unit obtained information that drugs were stored at a house at Clonard Avenue, Grenagh, Co Cork, on February 26, 2020, and they secured a warrant to search the premises.
