Boy, 16 charged in connection with €150,000 drugs seizure
A 16-year-old boy was brought before the Children’s Court today charged in connection with a drugs seizure worth €150,000 in Dublin last weekend.
The boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, was charged with possessing a quantity of heroin for sale or supply to another, at Neilstown Drive, in Clondalkin, in Dublin, on Sunday, December 9 last.
Judge Ann Ryan heard that the boy, who was accompanied to court by his mother, made no reply when he was charged.
The west Dublin teen was granted legal aid and the court was told that there was a Garda objection to bail.
Defence solicitor Sarah Molloy said a bail application was not being made at this stage.
The teenager was remanded in custody to St Patrick’s Institution to appear again next week pending directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
