A gambling addiction got so out of hand for a young Cork man that he resorted to drug dealing to make money to bet and ended up leaving the country when his life was threatened. Detective Garda Seán Minihane said Dunne was stopped at Castletreasure Grove, Donnybrook, Douglas, on July 11, 2011. After admitting to gardaí that he was dealing drugs, he left the country because his life was in danger from people with whom he had been involved. Det Garda Minihane accepted that Dunne had matured and was no longer the young man who got into this situation in 2011. Ms Stewart said Dunne was leaving Ireland immediately to a new life outside the country and had no plans to return.
