Heroin-dealing son ‘is our rock’

An elderly mother has told a court her 39-year-old heroin dealing son “is our rock”.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Kathleen Greene told the court her son Brian “is really a great son. We are so proud of him.”

She was speaking at the sentencing hearing of the retired garda’s son after he was convicted last month of possession with intent to supply heroin worth €783 at the family home at 2, Corrovorrin Avenue, Ennis, on September 13, 2011.
