Dealer has sentence hanging over him

Judge Olann Kelleher told Andrew Hurley he could do that community service work instead of spending five months in prison. Furthermore he imposed a jail sentence of six months which he suspended.

The sentence was suspended on the basis that Hurley was on a waiting list for a rehabilitation programme. The matter will be back in court in September to verify that he has taken up the place on the programme.
