Derry judge hits out at court delays

Derry Magistrate's Court

Derry Magistrate's Court heard today that a woman found with drugs in her bra told police she didn't know how they got there and that they weren't hers.

Shauna Margaret Brady (40) of Lawrence Hill in Derry admitted a charge of possessing class C drugs on July 1 last year.

The court heard police attended an address in relation to a breach of bail.

The defendant was arrested and searched and a quantity of drugs was found hidden in her bra.

She told police she didn't know how they got there which caused District Judge Oonagh Mullan to wonder how such a situation could arise considering where the drugs were found.

Defence counsel Sinead Rogan said she would make no comment on that but her client now accepted the drugs were hers for personal use. 

Brady was fined £200.
