Man allegedly caught with 'big knife' in Cork city is refused bail

Man tells court he is under threat over disputed drug debt

Daniel Huggins testified that he travelled from Dunmanway to buy cocaine in Cork city.

Walking through Cork city with a knife which was described by ajudge as “one foot long in old money” was a serious matter to be alleged against a man who had taken cocaine and now he has been refused bail.

Garda Stephen Grogan said of Daniel Huggins at Cork District Court: “We have concerns that he was in the city centre with a pretty large knife when he was under the influence of drugs.”
