Blarney man changes plea to guilty on second day of drug-dealing case

A Blarney man on trial for having more than €100,000 worth of heroin for sale or supply in August 2016 changed his plea to guilty today.

Garrett Hill of The View, Gleann Na Rí, Tower, Blarney, County Cork, had pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Thursday. However, prosecution senior counsel Siobhán Lankford said at the outset of the case today that there had been a development in the case and that the accused man could be re-arraigned in front of the jury.
