A woman and her partner were sent to jail on Friday for their role in a cannabis growing operation which was discovered in an out-house beside their home.
Mary Carney (33)and Robbie Mears (36) were arrested after police called at their home in Drimmagh on an unrelated matter and noticed a strong smell of herbal cannabis at the premises.
The pair, appeared in the dock of Dublin district Court sitting in Dublin, where they were sentenced on two charges – cultivating cannabis and possessing the Class B drug.
The court heard that when police called to the couple’s home on the Drimmagh Road on April 28th, 2016 and noticed the strong smell, they searched the outhouse and discovered a cannabis cultivation plant.
Cited in court as “clearly a growing operation” involving 130 plants, it emerged that Carney and Mears must have known about the operation, despite their initial denials. During a further search of their home, police found more cannabis – some of which was spoiled.
Other equipment associated with growing cannabis – including bags of compost and heat lamps – was also located in the outhouse. The value of the cannabis located at the property amounted to around €44,800
When she was arrested, Carney initially denied the charges but subsequently said she facilitated the growing operation by providing access to the outhouse. Regarding the small amount of drugs found in her home, the mother of three said this was for personal use.
During his sentencing remarks, Judge Gordon Kerr QC said he accepted that the couple didn’t benefit financially from the enterprise.
Addressing Carney , who appeared in court and sat outside the dock in a wheelchair, Judge Kerr said he acknowledged her mental and physical difficulties. She was handed an 18-month sentence – six months which will be served in prison with the remaining 12 months on supervised licence when she is released.
