Man remanded on bail over €30,000 cannabis charge

A 48-year-old man has been remanded on bail after he was charged yesterday in connection with a €30,000 drugs seizure by gardaí in Co Cork.

Ultan Moore of Old Court, Greenfields, Ballincollig was charged with a total of four offences relating to the seizure of 5kg of cannabis resin when he was brought before Cork District Court yesterday afternoon.

Mr Moore was charged with possession of cannabis and possession of cannabis for sale or supply at Fernwalk, Greenhills, Ballincollig on September 18th.

He was also charged with possession of cannabis and possession of cannabis for sale or supply at Oldcourt, Greenhills on the same date.

Det Garda Pat Condon gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution and told the court Mr Moore made no reply to any of the four charges when they were put to him after caution.

Gardaí did not object to bail once certain conditions were met, including that he surrender his passport, reside at his address at Oldcourt and notify gardaí of any change of address.

Gardaí also sought a condition that Mr Moore abide by a curfew and stay at home between 11pm and 7am, and that he sign on three times a week at Ballincollig Garda station.

Judge Olann Kelleher granted Mr Moore bail with these conditions attached and remanded him to appear again at Cork District Court on October 9th.
