Dublin man for trial over Duleek drugs seizure

A 37 year old man charged in connection with a suspected €1.8 million drug seizure in Duleek last year was returned for trial from Drogheda District Court.

Declan Kenna, Kilmartin Gardens, Tallaght, Dublin 24 is accused of possessing cannabis herb, possessing the drug for the purpose of sale or supply and possessing the drug with a market value of €13,000 or more at Duleek Business Park for the purpose of sale or supply on 20th November 2025.

The court heard a book of evidence had been served on the accused and the Director of Public Prosecutions had directed he be returned for trial to the next sitting of Trim Circuit Court.

Judge Nicola Andrews warned the accused that if he intended to rely on the defence of alibi he must give details of such witnesses to the prosecution within fourteen days.

The accused who did not have legal representation in court due to the solicitors strike indicated he understood the warning.

Judge Andrews also directed that copies of any garda interviews with the accused be given to the defence.

The judge remanded the accused on an independent surety of €5,000 bail to Trim Circuit Court on 27th October.

Judge Andrews told the accused he could make an application for legal aid to the Circuit Court.
