A Dublin taxi driver has been sentenced to three years in prison after he agreed to transport approximately €100,000 of cannabis, in what a judge described as a “huge misjudgement”.
Mark Byrne (47) pleaded guilty to possessing the cannabis for sale or supply at Watermill Drive, Raheny, Dublin 5 on February 22, 2021.
He further admitted possessing €3,500 in cash as the proceeds of crime and possessing a Nokia mobile phone for the purpose of facilitating a drug trafficking offence at Springdale Road, Raheny on the same date.
