A Dubliner with a heroin problem joined a born again Christian community in Cork but was asked to leave the group when he and a woman he met there were expecting a baby without being married.

Eddie Burke, solicitor, said that was the experience of 40-year-old Keith Dixon from Tallaght after coming to Cork to get out of drug addiction difficulties in Dublin.
