Man (34) had €20,000 worth of drugs in his Waterford city home
At Waterford Courthouse last week, a 34-year-old man pleaded guilty to having in his possession €20,000 worth of drugs.
Cannabis and MDMA were seized.
The court was told that the man has no previous convictions and had a significant drug habit at the time he was arrested.
The man was arraigned contrary to Section 15(A) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 (possessing controlled drugs with a value of €13,000 or more for unlawful sale or supply).
His defence barrister requested the adjournment of sentencing to allow for the obtainment of a probation and welfare.
Judge Eugene O’Kelly accepted the request and remanded the man until June 4 for further mention at Waterford Circuit Court.
The court hearing was ‘in camera’. Court restrictions apply and the man’s name has been redacted from this report.
