'Highly unlikely' book of evidence will be ready in two weeks for Kerry crystal meth case

Nathan McDonnell's appeal against a High Court refusal of his bail application will be in court next week for directions

Nathan McDonnell (left) and James Leen (right) are both charged with possession methylamphetamine, with a market value of €13,000 or more, for sale or supply in contravention of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 and contrary to section 15A of the Misuse of Drugs Acts.

The book of evidence in the case of two men charged with the biggest ever seizure of crystal meth in the State is still not ready, a court was told on Wednesday morning. 

And in the case of at least one of the accused men, it is ‘highly unlikely’ that the evidence will be ready in a further two weeks, the court was told.
