Man loses appeal against ten-year sentence in drug case

A Dublin man has lost his appeal against the severity of a ten-year jail term handed down to him for his role in a multi-million euro drugs operation.

The Court of Criminal Appeal today dismissed an appeal by Vincent Concannon (aged 40) of Fairlawn Park, Finglas, finding that the serious nature of the offence committed, outweighed any failure on behalf of the sentencing judge to make reference to the man’s lack of previous convictions.
