Lithuanian man on drugs charges told to leave Ireland or serve 10 years in jail

Second-hand clothing business in Ringaskiddy was being used as a front for the major drug distribution business, it was alleged

Accused man confessed to having a cache of drugs in Ringaskiddy with a street value of more than €90,000, consisting of €60,000 heroin, €14,000 ecstasy and €17,000 cocaine.

A 32-year-old Lithuanian man has been given three weeks to get out of the country – or else serve 10 years in prison in Ireland.

That was the decision made by Judge Helen Boyle at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
