Suspended sentence for former soldier

A former soldier from Swords whose drug dealing plans were foiled by an eagle eyed garda has been given an 18-month suspended sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Jason Dunne (aged 22), a father of one, was planning to sell heroin valued at €1,355 to friends to feed his own habit until it was spotted by Garda Calum Donahue on the floor of the car in which he was traveling.
