Taxpayers in the Irish Republic will fund the legal costs in relation to the daughter of former Euromillions winner, Dolores McNamara, in a court case involving alleged unlawful cocaine possession.
Today, Solicitor Mr Daragh Hassett obtained legal aid at Ennis District Court, thus allowing him to represent 37 year old Ms Kevanne McNamara.
Ms McNamara’s close family connection to the €115 million winner, of August 2005, was not discussed during the hearing and Ms McNamara was not required to attend the court in person and therefore did not appear.
Ms McNamara stands accused in relation to a minor drugs charge, contrary to Section 3 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977.
Judge Ms Mary Larkin adjourned the case to October 6th next, same to be heard at Ennis District Courthouse.
