A 54-year-old Fermoy man who was caught with €12,900 worth of cannabis claimed he was only storing the drugs for an unnamed person — but the investigating garda said the man was doing a bit more than storing, and had transported the stash, which he picked up in a field in Co Waterford.

Gerard Huffe, of Seán O’Brien Park, Beechfield, Fermoy, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to charges of possession of cannabis and having the drug for the purpose of sale or supply to others.
