A man involved with a Limerick crime gang nine years ago was caught retrieving a €255,000 stash of cannabis from a woodland in Blarney, Cork but he later fled to Spain – only being rearrested after getting off a ferry at Rosslare last year.

On Wednesday he was sentenced by Judge James McCourt to two years imprisonment with the last three months suspended.
