Man told garda he was 'flying away'

A man awaiting sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for drug offences has had his bail revoked after he told a garda he was "flying away" and wouldn’t turn up in court.

Declan Donovan, aged 30, from Gardiner Street, Dublin 1, pleaded guilty to offences under Section 15 of the Misuse of Drugs Act on July 17 and had been remanded on High Court bail for sentence on October 30 next.
