Five-year sentence for plasterer
A successful plasterer who turned to drug dealing to feed his cocaine addiction has been given a five-year sentence for possession of over €12,000 of cocaine by Judge Patricia Ryan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Judge Ryan heard that Darren Foster (aged 28), who had been earning up to €3,000 a week in his plastering business, was caught in possession of cocaine twice in five days in separate searches of his home.
