Two men have appeared before Killarney District Court charged with alleged drug offences.
Both have been charged with possession of cannabis and possession of the drug for sale or supply.
The court was told the estimated street value of the seizure on foot of an intelligence led operation by the Kerry Drugs Division is thought to be in the region of €165,000.
44-year-old Piotr Sikorski of Coolbane, Ballyhar is charged with possession of cannabis and with possession of the drug for sale or supply at the N22 Tralee road, Derreen, Killarney on Friday last, January 10th.
He’s also charged with possession of cannabis and possession of it for sale or supply at Coolbane, Ballyhar on the same day.
Sergeant Stephen O’Brien said the State was not objecting to bail on the meeting of a number of conditions.
These include that the accused hand over his passport and reside at Coolbane, Ballyhar.
Judge David Waters remanded Piotr Sikorski on bail to appear in Killarney District Court again on January 20th for instructions from the DPP.
32-year-old Krystian Misiak with an address at Fleming’s Lane, Killarney was also charged with the same alleged drug offences.
Mr Misiak is further charged under the Offensive Weapons Act with allegedly having in his possession ‘a flick knife.’
Garda Stephen Foley said Mr Misiak is believed to be heavily involved in the sale and supply of drugs and that no bail conditions would alleviate concerns that he would continue to do this if released on bail.
Defending, solicitor Pádraig O’Connell said his client is only facing an allegation at this time and there was no forensic analysis to prove what was seized is cannabis.
The drugs have been sent for analysis.
Judge Waters refused bail and said there were no bail conditions that would satisfy him that Mr Misiak wouldn't commit further serious offences.
