A Letterkenny woman has pleaded guilty to drug dealing in the town.
Priscilla Connors appeared before Letterkenny Circuit Court where she was formally arraigned before Judge John Aylmer.
Connors, a 28-year-old of Ballymacool Wood, Letterkenny, is charged with having a controlled drug, namely cocaine, for the purpose of unlawfully selling or otherwise supplying it to another.
The charge is contrary to section 15 and section 27 (as amended by section 6 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1984) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977.
Connors spoke only to plead guilty when the charge was put to her.

Judge Aylmer requested a probation report to include an assessment as to Connors’ suitability for community service.
The case was adjourned to the October sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court.
