Galway Daily courts Man due before court for alleged stalking of female politician

A woman in her 20s is due to appear before court today in connection with the seizure of pipe bombs and drugs in Galway last weekend.

Three women in their 20s were arrested when Gardaí uncovered six viable pipe bombs during the search of a property in Menlough, Ballinasloe on Sunday.

They also found and seized cocaine with an estimated street value of €20,000, €9,000 worth of cannabis, mixing agent and other drug paraphernalia.

A follow up search at a property in Loughrea turned up more than €9,400 in cash and two mobile phones were seized.

One of the three women in her 20s has since been charged, and is due to appear before Galway District Court today.

The other two young women were released without charge pending the preparation of a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
