Cases
latest first- Man jailed after State appeal over €400,000 cannabis case in Athy, Kildare Drug offence (cannabis · Co. Kildare
In April 2023, drugs with an estimated value of €399,470 were found at AutoChem, Unit 9, Block F, Athy Business Campus, Athy, Co Kildare. Jason Tuthill (51), described by the sources as a Laois man from Barrowhouse, pleaded guilty and was convicted under Section 15A of the Misuse of Drugs Act. In May 2025 Naas Courthouse imposed three years fully suspended, but the DPP appealed as unduly lenient and the Court of Appeal ruled that full suspension was an error in principle. On 28 January 2026 Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy quashed that sentence and resentenced him to five years with the final two and a half years suspended, meaning he will serve two and a half years in prison.
