WHEN gardaí stopped a man in Portlaoise and searched him, they allegedly found crack cocaine and diamorphine in his possession.

The drugs were discovered during the search of two homes in the city on Friday. 

The trio, who have yet to indicate pleas, were remanded in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court on Friday.

At the Family Law Court in Ennis, Judge Alec Gabbett granted the Interim Barring Order to the man after the man told the judge: “I don’t feel safe, and I don’t feel safe for my kids.”

The drugs seized have been sent for further analysis.
