Small quantity of cocaine discovered in Banagher, Co Offaly

Gardaí found a small quantity of cocaine during a search of a house in Banagher, Co Offaly, on Friday 22 September 2023. A subheading in the article instead places a seizure of cocaine worth €1,500 during a search in Nenagh by Tipperary gardaí, and the article does not resolve this conflict. A garda spokesperson said gardaí suspect the cocaine was for sale or supply. The case was reported by the Midland Tribune in October 2023, and no arrest, charge, court appearance or sentence has been reported.
