Young Dublin mum caught with €240k worth of drugs in Tesco bag avoids jail

A young mother who admitted having a shopping bag containing over €240k in drugs has again avoided jail, even after the Court of Appeal found that her original fully-suspended sentence was too lenient.

Kirsty Cummins was a teenager when she was found with a Tesco bag containing over €240,000 worth of cocaine and heroin and received a fully suspended four-year sentence in June 2021 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Cummins, 20, was observed by gardaí entering a Dublin flat and emerging carrying a bag which was later found to contain approximately €70,000 worth of cocaine and approximately €172,000 worth of heroin.
