Michael O'Reilly, a former supermarket manager, gave evidence before a sitting of Wicklow Circuit Court about how he had already paid €17,500 to clear off a drug debt accumulated by his son, Oisín.
He told Judge Patrick Quinn that he only realised the seriousness of what his son was involved in when he was arrested. Mr O’Reilly recalled how the couple could not sleep because of the fear they would feel"every time we’d hear the click of the gate". Det Garda Gunter said the defendant had been best friends with the woman’s grandson who was the individual who had the drug debt.Det Garda Gunter said O’Reilly had stayed outside the property while the others went inside.
He said the accused had gone into a treatment facility for six months and had come out"a completely different person". Mr Sweetman said the accused also accepted that he did not have the moral courage to stand up to others which had placed him in"a most disagreeable situation".
