Seems fair enough
A waste of government money to even prosecute people for enjoying a nearly harmless plant. Meanwhile the politicians who allow this injustice to continue are racking up massive bar tabs with taxpayer money and doing jack shit to improve the country for residents. The reefer-madness shit is for the 1950s.
Stop with this insanity. Legalize, regulate, and commercialize for the good of public health and our tax coffers.
Complete and utter waste of money and time by the Gardai. Cahir, meanwhile, has gangs of scumbags out and about causing havoc. Thank God the gardai sorted these stoners out though. Priorities.
Seems reasonable!
Are Cahir Garda station unaware of the adult caution scheme and Garda policy around it?

Sending lads with no previous convictions to court for €20 of cannabis is an incredibly poor use of resources when there is a caution scheme available.
All cannabis sentences are way too high.
*Garda Michael Cussen searched Mr Sweeney under the Misuse of Drugs Act, and found €20 worth of cannabis herb. Mr Sweeney was charged with having unlawfully in his possession a controlled drug, namely cannabis herb. He has no previous convictions.*
*Judge Brian O’Shea directed Mr Sweeney to pay €150 to the court poor box by May 1 next, and if paid, the probation act would be applied. If not paid, Mr Sweeney would be convicted and fined the same amount.*
It’s absolutely ridiculous this ever made it in front of a judge.
You would have to wonder on what basis of bullsh1t they got the warrant to search the home of the lad with 50 quid worth of weed
It must be very embarrassing for the force and those that signed a warrant
it costs the prosecutor a ball park of €3000 euro to take someone to court for something like this
***”Tipperary cannabis users told to pay money to court bribe box to avoid drugs convictions”***
Who gets the money from the poor box, I’m very poor, can I apply.
Raiding a gaff for a baggie is embarrassing
Imagine seeing that ape thundering after you for the dust left in your fifty bag.

Such a waste of taxpayers money
Jesus christ, do the Gardai not have better things to be at?
If he’s avoiding a criminal record his name shouldn’t be printed. All a potential employer has to do is Google him. I fucking hate shitty regional newspapers and their court pages (gossip pages).
