'Incorrigible' drug dealer jumped into canal to avoid gardai
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Maher was previously sentenced by Judge Elma Sheahan for similar offences and is due for release on May 20, 2025. He acknowledged that Maher wants to change his life and wants to reform and rehabilitate in prison and "return to the community a better person". "Hopefully he will take those steps," Judge Nolan commented. "But he was involved in drug dealing and was pretty incorrigible at that time," Judge Nolan said before he sentenced Maher to 32 months in prison which he ordered to be served consecutive to the term he is already serving.
