"Inspirational" former addict again avoids jail over "biggest cannabis growing facility" ever found in Ireland
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Kilkenny was sentenced to four years imprisonment while Zinck was given a wholly suspended nine year sentence by Judge Alice Doyle on May 20, 2015. But Zinck was not yet in the clear; He would have a "very significant" suspended sentence "hanging over him", the judge said.; Zinck's case was put back one year "in the hope" that the "exceptional" rehabilitation he had achieved to date could be maintained.
