CANNABIS allegedly possessed by a man in Edenderry was valued at €800, Tullamore District Court was told.
Sergeant Richard Thornton told the court that the DPP had directed that the case against Dylan Cole (22), Killane, Edenderry, could be disposed of summarily, meaning it will remain in the District Court.
