Boy warned over supply of €5 drugs to friends

A judge yesterday admonished a young Limerick drug abuser, telling him he did not give “a toss” what he put into his arms, up his nose or into his bottom.

But Judge Patrick Clyne told the 16-year-old youth, he was concerned that he was passing around a drug among his friends in his house without their parents knowing.

The accused admitted supplying a joint of cannabis, which the prosecution valued at €5, to others. Sarah Ryan, solicitor for the youth, asked the court not to record a conviction as the boy had never been in trouble before.
