A 48-year-old man was given a three-month suspended jail term for possession of heroin for his own use at Wolfe Tone Street in Cork.

Judge Olann Kelleher imposed that sentence on John Arundel of Harbour Row, Cobh, County Cork.

Defence solicitor, Frank Buttimer, stressed that the offence went back to July 6 2020. 

He said that accused had been homeless at the time but was residing at St Vincent’s Hostel on Anglesea Terrace for the past eight months and getting on much better.
