Boy tried to smuggle phones into jail

A 15-year-old boy, who tried to smuggle in two mobile phones and almost 200 sedative tablets to a cousin serving a sentence in Mountjoy Prison, will be sentenced in July.

He pleaded guilty to conveying drugs and contraband into the prison on April 21 last year.

Judge John O’Connor adjourned sentencing at the Dublin Children’s Court to allow for a probation report to be completed.
