A man has been sentenced to 12 years after almost €11.5m worth of drugs was found at an apartment in Dublin last October.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Stephen Carlile, with an address at Áras Na Cluaine, Nangor Road in Clondalkin, had €10.6m worth of diamorphine (heroin) and €839,000 worth of cannabis at the apartment he rented.
Gardaí also found guns, ammunition and drugs paraphernalia in the apartment.
The court heard that 23-year-old Carlile was a drug addict who had run up debts and had agreed to store the drugs because he was in fear of certain people.
The last two years of the sentence were suspended.
