A woman who tried to evade a drugs search by throwing a tennis ball containing €7,000 worth of heroin out the window of her home in Mallow, Cork, has been remanded in custody.

Jacinta O’Brien had her sentencing adjourned by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on the understanding that if she was not in Coolmine treatment centre or presenting a definite commencement date for rehab, then she would go into custody.
