A top floor flat in Skibbereen was the location for a woman’s drug-dealing operation but since the gardaí raided the premises in 2022 she has turned her life around and now she has been given the benefit of a suspended two-year sentence.

Detective Garda Shannon Ryan said the divisional drugs unit in the area obtained a warrant to search the top floor flat at 50 North Street, Skibbereen, County Cork, on September 24, 2022.
