Boy’s schoolbag ‘contained drugs worth €40k’

The boy, now 15, was charged in June at the Dublin Children’s Court with possessing cannabis with intent to supply to another. He was later remanded in custody for behavioural and psychological assessments which found he had a “multitude of needs”. The teen was given bail in August on condition he obeyed a nightly curfew.

He was also ordered to stay out of a west Dublin district due to “major problems” with “the lads he is hanging out with”.
