A West Cork cocaine dealer got a suspended jail term and a warning from the judge: “The court has given you a chance – don’t waste it,” but five months later he was caught dealing the same drug again.

Seán McCaffrey is now facing into a three-year jail term as a result of his repeated drug-dealing.
