10 years for 'wholesaler' caught with over €1.8m in cocaine and three handguns
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He said had Bourke just been a transporter delivering the drugs, he would have set a headline sentence of six or seven years, "but this was a more serious matter". "He was a wholesale distributor of these drugs and there were guns as well," Judge Nolan said. He backdated the sentence to last year when Bourke first went into custody.
