A BOOK of evidence is being prepared in relation to drugs charges brought against a man at Tullamore District Court.

Shane O'Neill (25), The Sycamores, Edenderry is accused of having diamorphine (heroin), valued at €13,000 or more, at Castle View Park, Edenderry on May 8 this year.

Mr O'Neill, who was represented by Aisling Maloney, solicitor, when he appeared in court before Judge Andrew Cody, also faces charges alleging the possession of diamorphine and the possession of the same drug for its sale or supply to others.

Sergeant Brendan Kearns applied for an adjournment to December 18 next for service of a book of evidence and Judge Cody made an order to that effect.
