• Drugs possession case dismissed after €300 paid to Longford court poor box Possession of drugs · Co. Longford

  On January 6, 2025, Gardaí on patrol at 3.30am in Longford town saw Martin Muntean parked in the car park at Hanlon's Gala, smelled drugs from his vehicle, and searched him and the car, finding a small amount in the footwell. The driver was arrested. Muntean pleaded guilty at Longford District Court to possession of drugs valued at €20 for his own personal use, and Judge Bernadette Owens said she would dismiss the case if money was paid to the court poor box. The case was reported in January 2026 as dismissed after Muntean offered to pay €300 to the court poor box.
