Ten years for cocaine possession

A young Dublin man has been jailed for ten years for possessing 1kg of cocaine at a garda checkpoint between Lucan and Clonlee nearly three years ago.

Daniel Goulding (aged 25) of Whitechapel Grove, Clonsilla was convicted by a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury after a six-day trial last month of possessing cocaine worth around €70,000 on the Ongar Road, Castleheany on June 14, 2006.
