Man found with vacuum-packed cash and cannabis at his Cork house jailed for drug-dealing

Judge Helen Boyle said: 'He was actively involved in the sale or supply of drugs in the Cork area. And this was a relatively large amount of drugs.'

Judge Boyle imposed a sentence of six years on the accused and suspended the last two-and-a-half years of it at Cork Circuit Criminal Court. File picture

Vacuum-packed cash totalling over €33,000 was found hidden behind a washing machine and almost €160,000 worth of cannabis was uncovered in the attic of a rented house in Carrigaline and now the man responsible for this has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

Detective Garda Robert Kennedy gave evidence in the case against 36-year-old Gytis Pyplys, and Judge Helen Boyle concluded: “He was actively involved in the sale or supply of drugs in the Cork area. And this was a relatively large amount of drugs.”
