A “glowing” probation report helped secure a suspended sentence for a young Dungarvan man convicted of possession of child abuse images.

Daniel Drummy, 22, of Apartment 2, 86 O’Connell St, was before Dungarvan District Court for sentencing, having pleaded guilty at a previous sitting to possession of 33 images of child pornography contrary to Section 6 (1) of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998.
