A man who worked for a courier company which had been set up as a front for a criminal drug-dealing operation has been given seven years in suspended sentences by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Matthew Sherry (32), with an address at Cloonmore Park, Tallaght, and formerly of Lorcan O'Toole Park, Crumlin, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply £20,000 worth of cocaine on March 13th, 1999, and also to assaulting a woman on August 8th, 1997, when he hijacked her car.
Judge Elizabeth Dunne imposed a suspended three-year sentence on the assault and hijack charges and a consecutive four-year suspended sentence on the drugs conspiracy charge.
