Longford woman grew cannabis plants in her garden, court hears


A woman who grew €20,000 worth of cannabis plants in her home has received an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for three years.
Matylda Kubiak, Ferefad, Longford, made no effort to hide the fact she was growing cannabis plants, which were growing in her garden and the windows of her home.
Judge Keenan Johnson accepted this was not a major operation, with the cannabis being for Ms Kubiak’s personal use.
After obtaining a search warrant, Gardaí discovered 25 mature cannabis plants at the property, each worth approximately €800.
They also discovered €890 worth of dried cannabis.
