This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Brian O'Grady was resentenced to five years, with the final two-and-a-half years suspended, for possessing cannabis resin for sale or supply at the Court of Appeal on 19 July 2018. The drugs were handed over in Finglas after he had agreed to deliver them to help pay his step-brother's debt.

The Court of Appeal found the original wholly suspended sentence unduly lenient and imposed the new sentence, which was to run from the date he first entered custody. O'Grady had pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to possessing cannabis resin worth €122,000 for sale or supply.
