No prison for Gilligan son caught with cocaine

The son of crime boss John Gilligan yesterday escaped a prison sentence after he was fined €1,100 for possessing €1,000 worth of cocaine.

Darren Gilligan (aged 32) with an address at Weston Green, Lucan in Dublin, had pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court earlier this year to two charges under the Misuse of Drugs Act for possessing a supply of cocaine and possession of the drug with intent to supply, at Parlickstown Drive, in Mulhuddart, in Dublin on November 9 last year.
