Cocaine 'the most popular drug in Cork', judge tells court

Describing cocaine as an 'awful drug', Judge Roberts said: 'Even how it is made causes deaths.'

“Cocaine is the most popular drug in Cork at the present moment — if not in the entire country,” a district court judge said.

Judge Colm Roberts made the comment while sentencing a man who was caught by gardaí with the drug for his own use on two separate occasions — in 2021 and 2022.
