10-year term for 'heroin-mixing factory' owner

A convicted drug dealer and robber who was operating "a heroin mixing factory" in west Dublin has been jailed for 10 years by Judge Thomas Teehan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Philip Delaney (aged 34) of St Aongus Road, Tallaght was found guilty earlier this month by a 10-one majority of the jury after a three-day trial of having heroin valued some €84,000 for sale or supply on December 6, 2004.
