Custody extended on cannabis charge

Noel McCarthy, aged 37, of Ballyknock, Whitegate, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to having the drug for sale or supply and cultivating it at his home and he was remanded in custody last month for sentencing yesterday.
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said one month is not enough time to consider the sentencing. He remanded McCarthy in custody until February 13, 2018.
