Cases
latest first- Man accused of possessing €160,000 of drugs granted bail Drugs for sale or supply · Co. Laois
Keith Dunne, 38, of Killurin, Tullamore, Co Offaly, was stopped at a checkpoint on Main Street, Portarlington, on 8 April 2026, where gardaí said they found drugs valued at €160,000 in the car, of which he was the sole occupant. He is accused of having drugs for sale or supply, and gardaí said a Section 15A prosecution for possession of drugs valued over €13,000 was likely. At a bail hearing at Portlaoise District Court, gardaí objected, but the judge set bail with a €1,000 bond and a €10,000 independent surety, with conditions including a curfew from 7pm to 8am. Reports differ on whether he was granted bail or remanded in custody with consent to bail, and he is due to return to Portlaoise District Court on 13 April.

On 18 June 2020, a hooded man struck Irish construction worker Keith Dunne, 34, with a Japanese pull saw at JKL Street, Edenderry, Co Offaly, severing part of his ring finger and injuring other fingers on his left hand. Craig Connolly, 30, of Kinnefad, Edenderry, was charged with assaulting Dunne causing serious harm and possessing the saw, while Sean Dillon, 42, of St Brigid's Road, Edenderry, was charged with the same assault acting in common design or aiding and abetting. Both men pleaded not guilty and were found guilty by a jury at Tullamore Circuit Court in May 2022 after a seven-day trial. In December 2022, Connolly was sentenced to eight years in prison including two suspended, and Dillon to seven years with the final four suspended.
