A JUDGE heard that a young wom- an who was found with a quantity of heroin in Killaloe was bringing it to her partner who is a paraplegic.
Annmarie Delahunty (22) of Hen- nessy Avenue in Killeely, Limerick, pleaded guilty to possession of €25 worth of heroin in Killaloe on April 23 of this year.
Her solicitor told Killaloe District Court that Ms Delahunty was “un-
der pressure from her former partner and the father of her child to get the drugs for him. Her partner unfortu- nately became paralysed from the waist down and by his own admis- sion 1s a heroin addict. She got this ‘fix’ and was giving it to him.”
The court heard that Delahunty has a number of previous convictions, in- cluding public order and road traffic offences. Judge Joseph Mangan or- dered that she do 100 hours commu- nity service if she proves suitable.
