A woman caught with €800 worth of cannabis in her car told gardaí the drugs were for transmission to Cork Prison. She immediately handed over €800 worth of cannabis. A warrant was granted for the search of her home and a protein box was found in the kitchen containing a further €550 worth of cannabis. “She admitted she collected drugs from one unknown person for collection from her and onward transmission to Cork Prison,” Sgt Kelleher said today. “She said the stuff at home was for herself and that she smoked 15 cannabis cigarettes a day.”Mr Cuddigan said the drugs were not being sent into Cork Prison but what the defendant meant was that a person in Cork Prison was directing the movement of drugs outside prison on the streets.
