Pair allegedly injected heroin in court toilets

A member of the public visiting the courthouse in Cork City alerted gardaí to noises from a cubicle in the ladies’ toilets where a couple were found injecting themselves with heroin, it was alleged yesterday.

Insp Adrian Gamble outlined those allegations to Judge Leo Malone at Cork District Court yesterday. The alleged offence occurred metres away from where the outline was given yesterday.

Insp Gamble said: “On October 23, 2014, here in the court, a member of the public told Garda Nicole Fitzgerald there was a male in the ladies’ toilet. Garda Fitzgerald went in and heard a male and female voice from a cubicle of the female toilets.
