A convicted drug dealer has been jailed for 10 years after Gardaí caught him with nearly €700,000 in cash while on bail for firearms and money laundering offences.
39-year-old Gerard Hayes from College Lawn in Cobh pleaded guilty to over 20 charges including drug dealing and possession of ammunition.
Judge Helen Boyle praised Gardaí for a successful operation which led to the jailing of a “serious player” in East Cork’s drug trade.
