Boris Barcanec was jailed for possessing cannabis, ecstasy tablets and amphetamines for sale or supply at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where Judge Orla Crowe sentenced him to three years and nine months, with the final 12 months suspended.

He had pleaded guilty to the charges, which related to drugs found at his home in Willbrook, Whitechurch Road, Dublin 14, on 5 July 2021.

The proceedings were reported on 15 November 2023, when the report said the sentence was passed on Wednesday.

The report said gardaí found cannabis valued at €62,248, amphetamines valued at €2,527 and 156 MDMA tablets worth €1,560.

Barcanec said the cannabis was poor quality and that some ecstasy was for his own use and friends at a party.

Defence counsel Padraig Dwyer SC relied on Barcanec’s good character, rehabilitation, low reoffending risk and lack of previous convictions.
