2017-11-28

Jail for father-of-two who agreed to bag over €280k in heroin for a "bit of smoke"

Stage: Sentence

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: He asked the judge to consider a fully suspended sentence given Maher's lack of serious offending and his minor role in the drugs enterprise. He noted Mr Rea's submission for a wholly suspended sentence but said he couldn't accede to this as the crime was too serious. "(Maher) took a chance and committed a grave error of judgement", the judge said.
