'They are contributing to profits of dangerous men': Judge hands out raft of cocaine convictions from Kinsale Sevens

A judge has said young professionals are funding “a murderous business” in buying cocaine after dealing with a string of cases in which he handed a jail term to a pharmacist and fined both an inter-county footballer and a law graduate.

Judge James McNulty made his comments at Clonakilty District Court, where he also handed a jail sentence to another man who had been convicted of having the equivalent of 100 lines of cocaine in 10 bags hidden in two socks for sale or supply.
