Drug dealer handed gardai ecstasy and cash stashed in underpants
Summary
Daniel Doyle, aged 31, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment by Judge Terence O'Sullivan after pleading guilty to possession of drugs for sale or supply at his home on 12 November 2014. Gardaí had obtained a warrant to search the house following reliable information about cocaine dealing at the address. Doyle answered the door and handed over €985 from his pocket, a bag of 446 MDMA tablets (ecstasy) and a money bag of about €600 from his underpants. In his bedroom a safe contained syringes, weighing scales, €340 in cash and €2,800 elsewhere. Doyle claimed the cash came from a recent car sale, but the Garda said this was not accepted. He has 35 previous convictions, including three for drug dealing, unlawful possession of firearms and two for threatening to kill or cause serious harm.
