Drug dealer raises legality of MDMA in court hours after Court of Appeal ruling

A drug dealer has raised with a Circuit Court judge the issue of today’s Court of Appeal ruling that the illegality of certain drugs is now unconstitutional.

Judge Martin Nolan had remanded Darren Snee (25) in custody before lunch recess after he pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to possession of cocaine, cannabis and MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy, for sale or supply at his home on November 18, 2013.
