Man found with heroin for his own use fined €200

Gardaí suspected heroin was being dealt at a house in Mayfield, Cork, and while nothing was found in a search they did find that the man living there had a small amount of the drug for his own use.

Denis Costello, aged 38, of Glenashrone, Abbeyfeale, Co Limerick, was living at a house at Ard Bhaile, Mayfield, Cork, at the relevant time. He pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of possessing diamorphine (heroin) for his own use on that date.
