Joseph Daly was jailed for nine years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 11 May 2021, after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine and heroin worth €995,850.

The drugs were found at his home on Glenamuck Road, Carrickmines, on 22 November 2007. Daly had failed to attend his sentence hearing after being released on bail and later fled to Spain.

Judge Martin Nolan said the quantity of drugs justified a long sentence and accepted that Daly had made admissions and co-operated with gardaí.
