Glynn has already admitted conspiring to possess drugs worth almost €1.5M after gardaí searched a lock-up in Dublin during the same operation.
On Monday at the three-judge, non-jury court Glynn spoke only to acknowledge his name and respond “guilty” when the registrar read out today’s charge. Det Sgt O’Leary told the sentence hearing that gardaí cut through a metal door on the premises and found 20 kilos of cocaine worth around €1.4 million, two kilos of cannabis resin worth around €11K and two kilos of cannabis herb worth around €40K.
A follow-up search to the lock-up carried out at a residential address in Dublin in April 2017 saw gardaí seize Blackberry phones on which a number attributed to Glynn was discovered. Det Sgt O’Leary said references to a “slate of pollen” referred to one kilo of cannabis resin and that “tools” referenced firearms. “Pis” referred to pistols and “seeds” referred to ammunition, said the detective, who added that one text read: “Little button on the side to put seeds in them”.The garda said that Glynn’s brother, Anthony, could also be identified as having text messages and a user profile on the phone.
