Martin Best, a 36-year-old man from Monasterevin, Co Kildare, was charged on 9 December 2019 with cultivating cannabis and possessing cannabis for sale or supply after eight cannabis plants and harvested cannabis were found at his home. The case was raised at Portlaoise District Court in October 2021, where Gardaí objected to his receiving free legal aid and the matter was adjourned for a statement of means. In October 2022, Judge Andrew Cody struck out all three charges, citing the defendant's rehabilitation and six clean urine samples, and issued a destruction order for the drugs.
