Father had son in car when caught with drug stash
A "hardworking family man" and cocaine addict who had his three-year-old son in the car with him when caught with a cache of the drug valued over €564,000 has been jailed for ten years by Judge Patricia Ryan.
Judge Ryan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court refused an application by defence counsel, Ms Isobel Kennedy SC, to postpone activation of the sentence to allow Nelson spend a "final Christmas with his children while they were still young".
