Two charged €2m heroin seizure

Two men have appeared in court in Dublin charged in connection with the seizure of 12kg of heroin, the largest find of the drug this year.
The men, aged 26 and 28, were remanded on bail to appear again in court next month.
They were both charged with possession of the drug and possession with intent to supply.
The two are 26-year-old Brian Kavanagh with an address at Wheatley Hall in Clonee in Co Meath and 28-year-old Peter Murray from Bellgree Heights, Tyrellstown in Co Dublin.
Both men have been ordered to surrender their passports and sign on three times a week at Blanchardstown Garda Station.

are you not only denied bail if you are deemed a flight risk or a danger on the streets? they are drug dealers not violent criminals as far as we know.

Now why can't we sell that heroin to the addicts and make some revenue from it.

Imo anybody charged with a 2million pound crime is a flight risk.

Yeah and put some dirty rat poison in it as well.

I agree they probably want to run but obviously the courts don't seem to think they will, and I don't think anyone can accuse the Irish courts of poor judgement:rolleyes:
