    Aaron Holt, 28, of Edenderry, Co Offaly, was sentenced to eight months in October 2026 for possessing 49g of cocaine for sale or supply, found in a lunchbox on 27 March 2025 in a cul-de-sac near his home. His four-year-old son Tadgh Farrell and grand-aunt Mary Holt were killed in a petrol bomb attack at Castleview Park, Edenderry in December 2025, and Holt was refused leave to attend his son's funeral. He had been jailed for seven years in January 2026 for a May 2024 heroin seizure worth over €32,000, and was on High Court bail at the time of the cocaine offence. Judge Cody imposed the eight-month consecutive sentence at Tullamore District Court, where Holt pleaded guilty; he had 62 previous convictions, 14 for drug offences.
