Nursing home worker before court over drugs found at Tallaght home

Faith Uzoeto, a 43-year-old woman who works in a nursing home and came to Ireland from South Africa, appeared before court over drugs found at her home at Horan Hall, Belgard Square, Tallaght, Dublin. The drugs, reported to be worth over €7,000, were found hidden in her bedroom, though a Gript headline says cocaine and heroin were hidden in a cap. The offence listed is drug possession, and she had gone missing while on community release from the Dochas Centre. Gript reported the case on 21 January 2026 and says it was heard in court, with no later development given.
