Teen Accused of Drug Firearm Charges Gets Bail | Ireland News

An 18-year-old, Ryan Phillips, stunned authorities by getting bail despite facing serious charges—including possession of a modified semi-automatic handgun, ammo, and a large heroin stash meant for sale. Prosecutors warned he’s a danger to the community, citing his own admissions of drug trafficking in Limerick and easy access to weapons.
