GARDAI recovered a homemade shotgun known as a "slam-bang" during a drug search of a house in north Co. Dublin, a court has heard.
Jeffrey Bangu, 19, with an address at Cardy Rock Crescent, Balbriggan, was charged with drug offences in connection with the operation.

He was refused bail after appearing at Dublin District Court on Saturday.

Garda Eoin O’Reilly charged him with possessing cocaine and cannabis for sale or supply at his home on August 31, contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act.

He has not yet indicated a plea and "made no reply" when gardai charged him following his arrest on Friday afternoon.

Objecting to bail, Garda O’Reilly told Judge Marie Quirke the local drugs unit obtained a warrant to search the accused's residence.

The court heard that during the operation, gardai found an "improvised slam-bang" shotgun in a bag with six 12-gauge cartridges on the floor. He said the homemade gun was "capable of causing serious harm or death".

Under cross-examination, he conceded the designated firearms officer was not at the hearing.

It was alleged they also recovered about €1,800 worth of cocaine and cannabis valued at €2,100 in the room.

The garda added that the seizure of Mr Bangu's wallet there supported the belief it was his bedroom.

Instead of people enjoying the night in the comfort of their homes they keep risking their lives at night clubs, which are dens of drug addicts, drunkards and dangerous criminals.

Everybody not the same. Some people are alive during the night. If they have money, they would want to go outside. But i think what you are saying is particularly about going out of the home, which is sometimes dangerous. Am always active in the night, but i do it inside the house!

Illiterate! Northern Ireland not Ireland is part of United Kingdom!

Chucks13:
You are somehow right but Rep of Ireland is not part of the UK and its different from Northern Irelaand.

Northern Ireland with Belfast as the capital is the one under UK control whereas Rep of Ireland with Dublin as their capital is a country on its own.

sdee2k3:
Republic of Ireland is different from Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland belongs to the UK while Republic of Ireland is an independent country and her capital is DUBLIN.
You need a visa to visit Ireland if you are travelling from the UK and vice versa.
I hope this is clear enough.
Cheers.

Northern Ireland is different from the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, while the Republic of Ireland is an independent country.
