A DUBLIN man currently serving a lengthy prison sentence received a further four months when he pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis to the value of €20 at Galway District Court.
Judge Fiona Lydon was told that Paddy Joe Doyle was found by Gardaí who searched his hotel room in the city on foot of a search warrant on November 13, 2025 to be in possession of the cannabis.
The Court was told Doyle was currently serving a lengthy prison sentence and would not be released until September 2027.
The defendant is 24 and the father of two children. He had fully co-operated with arresting Gardaí, admitted his guilt and signed the Garda note book where admission of his guilt was recorded.
Doyle, Judge Lydon was told, had 67 previous convictions, seven of which were for drugs offences.
A four-month sentence was imposed.
