Heroin teen to spend Christmas with dad

A teenager who stored heroin valued €314,000 and cocaine in the family sitting room has been granted compassionate bail by Judge Frank O’Donnell to spend Christmas with his widower father.

Mr Christopher Walsh, whose other son died of a drug overdose aged 10, pleaded with Judge O’Donnell to allow his only remaining child home to spend the first anniversary of his wife’s death on December 22 and Christmas with him.
