'Pretty stupid' teen repeatedly sold drugs from same place

Summary

A 20‑year‑old named Nathan Flynn was jailed for three‑and‑a‑half years after being repeatedly caught by Gardaí selling cannabis, cocaine and heroin from a vacant cabin in Rossfield Park, Tallaght. Flynn, who lived in the cabin, was arrested six times between June and August 2019, each time with drugs and cash seized. He pleaded guilty to possession of drugs for sale or supply at the cabin and at his former address in Killinarden Heights. The court noted that Flynn was homeless and had been kicked out by his mother because of his drug use. The judge described his behaviour as "pretty stupid" and said he was probably working for someone else. Flynn's sentence was imposed for his repeated misbehaviour.
