12-year sentence for cannabis possession set aside in case that raised "important question" for drugs offences

Stage: Appeal

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: Geraghty was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment by Judge Martin Nolan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on December 13 2011. Ms Justice Finlay-Geoghegan, who sat alongside Mr Justice Gerard Hogan and Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan, said the Court was satisfied by reasons of errors in law that there was an error in principle in the sentence imposed on Geraghty and in the circumstances the court was required to aside and vacate the sentence imposed.; The court had reserved judgment on Geraghty's appeal last month because the case raised what Ms Justice Mary Finlay-Geoghegan described as an "important question of construction" regarding the act.
