    Court Appearance - Operation Tara – over €84,000 Drugs and €18,000 Cash Seized and Two Arrests, Limerick City, 15th September 2024

    Garda press release confirming a man in his 20s has been charged and is due before Limerick District Court at 2pm on 17 September 2024. It gives the total seizure as over €84,000 of drugs and €18,000 cash under Operation Tara, and refers to two arrests. Its drug figure is higher than the €35,000 cocaine in the existing case, so it may cover a wider seizure.
