Gardaí have been granted a final chance to get the Director of Public Prosecutions’ decision (DPP) in the cocaine possession and dangerous driving case against former Republic of Ireland footballer Anthony Stokes.

Dublin District Court heard on Thursday that the suspected value of the alleged seizure was €4,500. Gardaí arrested the ex-Celtic and Sunderland striker on January 6 following alleged driving incidents in Dublin and brought him to Crumlin station.
