A teenager who had heroin worth €43,000 in a car outside his mother’s home has been sentenced to seven years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Jonathon Golding (aged 19) of Marigold Crescent, Darndale told gardaí he was holding the heroin for another person to pay off a drugs debt of around €2,000, which he’d accumulated from taking tablets and "skunk" everyday since his father died the previous year.
