Tim Gilchrist Jnr and the Cessna that flew to Longford loaded with cocaine

A 56 year old whose Defence Counsel described as a ‘Walter Mitty’ character has been sent off to jail on an 11 year sentence after a court heard he flew 8 million euro of cocaine into Ireland.
Waterford man Tim Gilchrist Jnr was a passenger on a Cessna aircraft that flew from France to Longford nearly two years ago loaded with the cocaine.
Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the origins of the drugs, the dangerous gang behind them and the unknown businessman who couriered them to Ireland.

I wish Nicola would not talk over another person who is speaking she interrupts and over speaks all the time.

I was going to say the same thing- Niall needs to stand up for himself and stop being railroaded 😅

Its unbelievable that you can't land a wild salmon in Ireland without observation from Fishery Officers using drones & patrols but its OK to land tons of coke.

Why is it that Ireland is described as a gateway to Europe in terms of drugs trafficking, yet many drugs busts are of people bringing drugs into Ireland from Europe??

[@RobertBurke-tq9zu]

It is because of her location. West of Europe. Drugs coming from the Americas.

Great report guys. Zero sympathy for Mr Gilchrist. He was looking to make an easy buck.
