He also has a charge for breaching the Immigration Act. The court heard at the time of arrest he was an “over-stayer” and no longer legally permitted to be in the country, which the Garda National Immigration Bureau has confirmed.
They allegedly seized €5,500 of various drugs from the accused at Talbot Street and then went to his home and searched his bedroom where they recovered drugs worth €55,000 and €4,360 in cash.Cross-examined by defence solicitor Philip Denieffe, the garda agreed that the accused had no prior convictions but said bail with strict conditions would not alleviate his concerns.
Mr Denieffe told the court his client lived with friends and a sibling who is due back in Ireland on Monday. Judge Fay said that while the accused had the presumption of innocence, the garda had established his objection to bail on the grounds that the accused would likely attempt to evade justice.
