A self-confessed heroin addict has been convicted of drug dealing in the city and jailed for
eighteen months.

32 year old Jason Shaughnessy, of 5 Claddagh Place, Galway, denied being a drug dealer at Galway District Court last evening and to having quantities of heroin and cannabis in his possession for the purpose of sale or supply to another on January 21 last year.

He did plead guilty to having the drugs in his possession, claiming they were to feed his own addiction.
