A LUCAN man, charged with the wholesale supply of prescription drugs and dealing in a designer drug nicknamed “legal x”, is to be tried in the Circuit Court.

Jason Kearney was before Blanchardstown Court for DPP directions.

He was allegedly found in possession of Phenazepam and Zopiclone tablets and with Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP).

A solicitor for the DPP told Judge David McHugh that the DPP had directed trial on indictment. She said the book of evidence would be ready in four weeks.

Kearney, aged 36 , with an address at Foxborough Rise, Lucan, is charged with supplying phenazepam tablets, possession of phenazepam without a prescription, the wholesale supply of phenazepam, supplying Zopiclone and the wholesale supply of Zopiclone at the above address on May 28, 2015.

He is also charged with simple possession of Trifluoromethyl-phenylpiperazine and possession of Trifluoromethylphenyl-piperazine for sale or supply at his home address also on May 28, 2015.

Judge McHugh remanded Kearney on continuing bail for a month for service of the book of evidence.
