A book of evidence will be served next Friday on a North Cork man who was allegedly seen by gardaí throwing a packet of cocaine out a car window more than three years ago when pursued by gardaí near Mitchelstown.

It was alleged last week during an unsuccessful bail application by Gavin McGrath that he had left for Australia before he was charged.
