THE State has been granted a further week to serve a book of evidence on an Ennis man charged with having heroin for sale or supply.
At Ennis District Court on Wednesday, Judge Patrick Durcan agreed to adjourn the case of David Joyce (23) for another week.
Mr Joyce, with an address at 85 Dun na hInse, is charged with unlawful possession of diamorphine at 90 Dun na hInse, Ennis on May 30 (2012).
He is also charged with having diamorphine for purposes of sale or supply at the same location and date.
Inspector Michael Gallagher requested that the State be granted an additional week for service of the book of evidence.
Defence solicitor Tara Godfrey said her client had appeared in court on a number of occasions in relation to the charges.
Judge Durcan agreed to adjourn the case to tomorrow.
Acknowledging Ms Godfrey’s comments, Judge Durcan said they should be interpreted as “a warning to the State to get its act together.”
He remanded Mr Joyce on continuing bail to appear again at Ennis District Court on September 26.
