Case No. 18151Drug possession · Co. Longford · 27 Mar 2021

Aidan Carberry charged with cocaine possession in Kenagh, case adjourned

Aidan Carberry (28) of Cartronbrack, Kenagh, Longford, was charged with possession of cocaine after gardaí executed a search warrant at a Kenagh premises on March 27, 2021. The search found 36.96 grams of white powder in a vehicle belonging to him, which laboratory analysis identified as cocaine valued at €2,586.29. The case was reported at Longford District Court in February 2024, where the judge said he may avoid a conviction if he makes a substantial donation to the court poor box. The latest development is that the matter was adjourned to June 25 so he could return with €1,750 for the court poor box.
