A 60-year-old man from Mullinahone, Co Tipperary, appeared yesterday before Cork District Court following the seizure of 1.5kg of suspected heroin in Cork city.
Mr Philip Hicks, of Cois Na hAbhainn, Mullinahone, Thurles, Co. Tipperary faces charges of possessing heroin and possessing it for sale or supply at Upper Convent Road, Blackrock, on September 1st last.
At the September 3rd hearing yesyerday, Detective Garda Mr James Byrd said Mr Hicks made no reply when charged under caution. Gardaí did not object to bail.
Mr Justice David Waters granted bail subject to conditions including that Mr Hicks remain at his Mullinahone address, sign on three times weekly at Clonmel Garda Station and stay out of Cork except for court appearances and legal appointments. He must also surrender his passport and remain contactable by mobile phone.
Mr Hicks is due back before Cork District Court on October 1st, for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Co-accused Ms Sandra Byrne, of Upper Convent Road, faces the same drug charges and a separate money-laundering charge concerning €12,980. Gardaí told the court the cash was found concealed in a wash basket at her home.
Ms Byrne was refused bail and remanded in custody until September 10th.
The court heard that forensic examination of the suspected drugs was outstanding, thus presently the charges remain as allegations.
RTÉ has announced a new five-part drama based on the murder of popular Tipperary DJ Mr Bobby “Mr Moonlight” Ryan and the subsequent trial of Mr Patrick Quirke.
The Murder of “Mr Moonlight” will explore Mr Ryan’s disappearance in June of 2011 and the events that led to one of the longest-running murder trials in Irish history.
Mr Ryan’s body was discovered almost two years later in a disused underground tank on farmland outside Tipperary town. Mr Quirke was convicted of his murder in 2019 and sentenced to life imprisonment.
“Downton Abbey” actor Mr Brendan Coyle will portray Mr Bobby Ryan, with Ms Sinéad Keenan playing Ms Mary Lowry and Mr Owen McDonnell taking on the role of Mr Patrick Quirke.
Based on Ms Catherine Fegan’s book of the same name, the series aims to look beyond the headlines and place Mr Bobby Ryan and the impact of his death at the heart of the story.
The drama is due to air on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player in 2027, with an exact release date yet to be confirmed.
