Limerick man offers no objection to forfeiture of €44k
Summary
On 28 August 2015 a Limerick man, Warren Hehir, 25, was stopped on the Long Mile Road in Dublin after a wrong turn. Gardaí searched his vehicle and found €43,970 in his tracksuit and €635 in his pocket. Hehir, who had no legitimate income, claimed the money was a loan from his mother to buy an Audi for his girlfriend, but his mother denied giving him the money. Hehir had 33 prior convictions, including drug dealing and theft, and was linked to known criminals in Limerick. He denied using the money for drugs. The prosecution, led by Grainne O'Neill BL, presented an affidavit from Sergeant Mark Campbell. Judge Melanie Greally, after hearing the affidavits, ruled the cash was proceeds of crime or intended for criminal use and accepted the State's application to forfeit €44,000, with Hehir offering no objection.
