Ferris: Son has let family down with drugs offence

SINN FÉIN TD Martin Ferris (pictured) has expressed his disappointment following his son’s appearance in court on a drugs possession offence.

His son Cianán, aged 27, avoided a conviction at Tralee District Court for having a “small amount” of cannabis — reported to be thumbnail size — in his possession.

But the Kerry North-West Limerick TD, a noted anti-drugs campaigner, said he had felt let down.
