'Show knows what she shouldn't be doing', says judge as he sentences Cork woman caught with drugs

Judge Colm Roberts took into consideration efforts made by the accused to put her life on a better footing since this occurred almost two years ago.

A sentencing judge said of a woman with numerous drugs convictions who was caught with Alprazolam tablets – “She knows what she should be doing. More importantly, she knows what she shouldn’t be doing.” 

That was the comment Judge Colm Roberts made to 40-year-old Niamh O’Sullivan of 128 Comeragh Park, The Glen, Cork.

Sergeant Gearóid Davis said Garda Mary Enneguess and Garda Peter Kelleher executed a search warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at an apartment in Leeside apartments, Francis Street, Cork, on March 2 2021.

A plastic bag containing 33 white Alprazolam tablets were found.
