Woman appears in court over €3k Longford town drugs haul
A woman allegedly found with in the region of €3,000 of cannabis herb had been under the influence of a third party at the time of the incident.
Catherine Ryan, Culleen, Kilsalagh, Westport, Co Mayo, pleaded guilty to being found in possession of the drug for the purposes of sale or supply at last week's sitting of Longford District Court.
The alleged offence took place at Kilmore Lower, Co Longford on November 25, 2020.
Defence solicitor John Quinn said while Ms Ryan was “taking a certain course” in her approach to the case, a probation report would shed light on how she has moved on in a positive way since the incident.
“I believe a probation report would assist the court,” he said.
“I do believe she was under the influence of another in the commissioning of this offence and I would like to have that explored.”
Judge Brendan O'Reilly consented to that request as he asked how long a probation report would take to compile.
Sgt Mark Mahon replied, suggesting a two month adjournment with Ms Ryan being remanded on bail until a sitting of Longford District Court on January 16, 2o24.
