Jailed mother forfeits 'drug-dealing proceeds'

A mother who is serving a ten-year sentence has forfeited €60,000 to the State as the proceeds of drug dealing.

Esther Cullen (aged 49), Drumcairn Gardens, Tallaght, was jailed in October 2005 by Judge Frank O’Donnell after her conviction by a Dublin Circuit Criminal Cour jury of dealing in cannabis resin valued almost €400,000.
