A 48-year-old man in full-time employment was operating by night “as a vital cog in a very organised activity of drug distribution” where he would make at least 10 drops a night all over Cork City and county.

George Murray of Ard Na Greinne, Station Road, Blarney, County Cork, pleaded guilty to having cannabis for sale or supply and having cash, the proceeds of crime.
