A crack cocaine addiction prompted a 37-year-old man to ask a sentencing judge to send him to jail so that he could get himself clear of the drug.

Leonard Geasley was caught with two wraps of Diamorphine (heroin) in his sock when he was searched by gardaí on August 30, 2023, and now Judge Mary Dorgan has sentenced him to four months in prison.
