Following the procedural hearing this Monday, Ronan Kennedy SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, told Mr Justice Paul McDermott that the plea was acceptable and that other counts on the indictment should be taken into account when sentencing.

Biber's barrister Mark Nicholas SC said his client's drug use was a significant factor in the offence and he asked the judge to order a probation report before sentencing. Mr Nicholas said his client also wished to apologise to Mr Grosser.

Mr Justice McDermott adjourned the case until December 5 and ordered a probation and governor's report.
