A former Dublin minors hurler who was caught in possession of €2.7 million worth of cocaine and cannabis in 2014 has been jailed for nine years.
Patrick Casey, 35, fled the country after he managed to evade gardai in the wake of a high speed chase eight years ago, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard today.
Just over €700,000 worth of cannabis and cocaine was found in his car, while just under €2 million worth of the same drugs was seized when gardai raided his home in Raheny, Sergeant James Muldowney told John Moher BL, prosecuting.
