GARDAI have been ordered to return more than €70,000 in cash which was seized at the home of a businessman in Limerick city more than 18 months ago.
Most of the cash was found in knotted socks which were located in a small safe during searches at the home of Martin Duggan in Moyross on September 30, 2019.
The safe also contained a variety of financial and business documents as well as bank cards and a birth certificate.
The 49-year-old operates a successful coal distribution business in the city and objected to an application by the State to have the money forfeited under Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1994.
