An electrician accused of having cocaine worth close to half a million pounds has had his bail varied to allow him one final night with his girlfriend, who is going to Australia. Ryan Diamond’s conditions have been relaxed so he can attend her farewell party and spend the night in a Newry hotel. Diamond is facing two charges: possessing cocaine and having the drug with intent to supply in December last year. On Thursday he applied to have his bail changed for the farewell night. The judge approved his variation in bail if Diamond could provide proof of the hotel booking with his girlfriend.
