Idrees admitted the offences after gardaí arrested him on 22 November 2012. Mr Justice Paul Carney imposed two-year sentences for each offence, to run concurrently, and backdated them to March 2013; two other counts were discontinued, while he had pleaded not guilty to false imprisonment and demanding money with menaces.
