• Drug possession case adjourned at Sligo District Court Possession of drugs (cannabis); having drugs for sale or supply · Co. Sligo

  Padraig Rooney, a man from Tullywee, Laghey, was charged with possession of cannabis and having drugs for sale or supply after €1,750 worth of cannabis was found in his car at Deepwater Quay, Finisklin, Sligo on 27 May 2020. Gardaí observed a suspicious transaction in which a package was handed over, and the defendant admitted possession of the drugs. At Sligo District Court in October 2021, his defence argued the cannabis was being bought for six friends with no commercial gain. Judge Deirdre Gearty adjourned the case to 7 April 2022, with a potential Probation Act application contingent on a €500 donation to Social Ground Force.
