1,100 cannabis plants and gun seized in Tipperary

Three men have been arrested.

GARDAÍ HAVE SEIZED about 1,100 cannabis plants and a gun following searches at two properties in Tipperary.

During the searches, a cannabis grow house was discovered at one premises, while the second contained a drying house. The houses are located at Boytonrath, Boreen, Kileenasteena, New Inn, Co Tipperary.

Gadaí said the plants are of “various maturities”. They also found a quantity of cannabis herb and a single barrel shotgun.

In total the cannabis seized has an estimated street value of €700,000 – subject to analysis.

Three men, one in his 40s and two in their 50s, have been arrested and are being detained at Tipperary and Cahir Garda Stations under Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act.

The Garda operation included members from drugs and detective units in Tipperary town, Clonmel Garda Station, the Regional Surveillance Unit, the Regional Support Unit, and the Cork Dog Unit.

    A “farmer” and his pals take out a €30 million loan and NAMA are not ment to ask for the money back because he took his own life?
    Fine let the tax payer pay back the €30 million and his family can keep the money he borrowed.

    What a sick. That money was insured anyway. Not to mention the loan was securitised and the bank got paid in full.

    Terry, It is highly unlikely that NAMA would be looking for payment for this debt if it was already paid by an insurance company, provide evidence for your ridiculous claim or F off.
