A 44-year-old man who was arrested for a drugs search kicked a bag of cannabis under a Garda patrol car as he was leaving it and he later produced a bag of heroin from his underwear and gave it to detectives.

Detective Garda Jeremy Murphy gave evidence of the drug activity by the Somalian national Abdulla Abdi, who has been living in Ireland for 15 years, at the sentencing hearing for his latest offence.
