Jordan Ward receives suspended four-year sentence in cannabis case

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

Jordan Ward was sentenced to four years in prison, suspended in full, for possessing cannabis worth about €35,000 for sale or supply. The court imposed strict conditions, including two years under Probation Service supervision.

Judge Pauline Codd said Ward was low in the drug supply chain and had not profited from the cannabis. She accepted that a probation report showed insight into his offending and victim awareness, and said imposing the presumptive minimum sentence would be unjust. Ward will face the four-year term if he breaches the suspension conditions.
