A born-again Christian arrested at the weekend for allegedly having €16,000 worth of heroin and €4,000 worth of crack cocaine at an apartment in Cork said it was a blessing to be remanded in custody as it helped her to get through the worst of cold turkey.

37-year-old Jenna Heaphy asked Judge Olann Kelleher not to remand her in custody and said prison would do her no good.
