DETAILS

The judge was informed that on March 3, 2022, the gardaí discovered the suspected haul at Mr Mulpeter's home, on the foot of a search warrant.

Gardaí alleged that the suspected haul was made up of a mix of cocaine, cannabis and ketamine.

Judge Zaidan remarked that ketamine was horse tranquiliser, and jokingly asked gardaí: "I take it there were no horses found at the house?"

The judge remanded Mr Mulpeter on continuing bail until the case returns to court on July 6.

A book of evidence is due to be presented on this date.
