Photograph: Domnick Walsh/Eye FocusA Co Kerry businessman charged over Ireland’s largest-ever crystal meth seizure has been denied bail in the High Court despite his father offering a €100,000 surety.
James Leen , of Pilgrim Hill, Kilmourna, Listowel, faces two charges of importing methylamphetamine, known as crystal meth, at Cork Port, Ringaskiddy on October 16th last. He is also accused of possession of €13,000 or more of the drug at Ballyseedy Garden Centre between October 27th and February 12th last. He made no reply when charged with the offences.
The men were refused bail at their first District Court hearings in February but were entitled to bring fresh applications to the High Court. Mr McDonnell’s bail application was heard last week by Ms Justice Karen O’Connor, who said the allegations in this case “are in respect of very serious offending”.
