Man who fell out of wheelchair facing sentencing for drugs

The court was told the defendant 'fell out of his wheelchair as a result of intoxication with substances including Benzodiazepines and cocaine'.

A Dublin man who got so intoxicated on cocaine and Benzodiazepines that he fell out of his wheelchair, and faces sentencing for having over €30,000 worth of heroin in Cork city on an earlier date, was remanded in custody for sentencing next Wednesday.

Judge Helen Boyle said sentencing in the case could not be reached because of ongoing cases before her at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
