Convicted Drug Dealer Avoids Jail After 'Remarkable Turnaround'
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Ashman, a father-of-six from The Meadows, Knockroe, Castlerea, Co Roscommon, was handed a two-year suspended sentence and disqualified from driving for six years. Judge Eoin Garavan set a headline sentence of three years but reduced this to two years on account of mitigating factors including what he said was Ashman's 'remarkable turnabout'.
