Joshua Allen, the eldest son of celebrity chef Rachel Allen, has been sent back to prison for seven months arising out of two drugs offences with the sentencing judge warning that the "penny has not dropped" for the 22-year-old in terms of getting his life properly on track.
Mr Allen of Ballinamona, Shanagarry, Co Cork appeared before Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Monday of this week where he was appealing a two-month sentence he previously received after he was convicted of being in possession of €280 worth of cocaine in July 2020.
The offence occurred just five weeks after Mr Allen was released from custody having been found to be in possession of €22,000 worth of cannabis for sale and supply in August 2018.
