His solicitor said: “He comes across as a very gentle soul – fragile enough in that he is very concerned about the prospect of going into custody.”

A Youghal man who was allegedly caught with a consignment of heroin brought by train from Dublin to Cork was refused bail because of the seriousness of the charges.

Detective Garda Raphael Liston arrested 30-year-old Robert Murphy of Quarryvale, Greencloyne, Youghal, County Cork, and charged him with heroin possession and having the drugs for sale or supply.
