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.
