Signed guilty pleas were entered on Wednesday in a case where vacuum-packed cash totalling over €33,000 was found hidden behind a washing machine and €180,000 worth of cannabis was uncovered in the attic of a rented house in Carrigaline earlier this year.

Defence solicitor Eddie Burke indicated that the accused, Gytis Pyplys, aged 36, was pleading guilty to the charges against him. The case was sent forward from Cork District Court for sentencing at Cork Circuit Criminal Court once the pleas of guilty were signed.
