A “vulnerable” young mother whose apartment was used to store more than half a million euro worth of heroin and cocaine has been jailed for three years. A package containing €553,000 worth of heroin and €34,600 worth of cocaine was discovered in the home, which was empty at the time. She told gardaí she had a historic drug debt amounting to €5000 and, upon moving into the apartment, was contacted by the individuals she owed money to. She told gardaí she did not look inside the package. “But as soon as she gets these premises, starts a new life, these others drag her back,” he told the court.
