He pleaded guilty to possession of the Class C drug pregabalin with intent to supply and possession of the Class B drug cannabis with intent to supply, both charges dated June 25 last year.
Martin’s barrister, Mr Peter Coiley, suggested his client might benefit from a pre-sentence report “given the nature of the offending and his history”.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan pointed to Martin’s “significant record” and the two counts of intent to supply illegal drugs and ordered a pre-sentence report and adjourned the case until April 10.
"Make sure and attend with Probation,” the district judge told the defendant. “You have a relevant record of serious offending. If you don’t attend there is only one likely outcome.”
