• Tipperary man jailed for seven years over cocaine at Dublin Port Drug offences (cocaine for sale or supply) · Co. Tipperary

  John Joseph Carey, a 57-year-old man from Tipperary Town, was the driver of a camper van that docked at Dublin Port at 6.20am on 10 October 2022, carrying 16.6kg of cocaine concealed in the vehicle's chassis. Gardaí had received confidential information in September 2022 about a planned import through the port, and Customs were alerted to the expected day. Carey pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to having the cocaine for sale or supply, and the court accepted his plea and his co-operation with gardaí. The latest development, reported on 5 November 2025, is that he was jailed for seven years.
