Seven years for man who took possession of ecstasy to help pay off daughter's debt

A 49-year-old father who took possession of ecstasy worth almost €500,000 so that he could pay off his daughter’s so-called "drug debt" has been given a seven-year sentence by Judge Frank O’Donnell.

Anthony O’Reilly, with an address at Kincora Court, Clontarf, told gardaí he was in fear for his daughter’s safety and he was worried "certain people" knew where she lived.
