Aidan Conroy’s appeal against cocaine convictions was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 30 November 2020.

He had been convicted at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court of possessing cocaine for sale or supply and unlawful importation.

The court found no breach of the Judges Rules or wider unfairness in admitting the evidence.

It also rejected a complaint that the trial judge should have given the jury a corroboration warning.
