Man jailed for drug and road offences

A Ballincollig man dealing heroin in Cork city was jailed for 10 months yesterday. Ken O’Mahony, 45, confessed to the drug supply charge at Cork District Court yesterday, where he also admitted multiple counts of driving with no insurance.

Judge Olann Kelleher banned him from driving for 15 years and imposed another 10-month sentence concurrent with the drugs sentence. Gardaí from Gurranabraher were on mobile patrol at North Mall, Cork, when they spotted O’Mahony, of no fixed address, acting in a suspicious manner. Garda Desmond Prendergast informed O’Mahony he was going to search him under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
