A 36-year-old man who used an honesty box system to deal drugs in West Cork was given a two-year jail term, backdated to when he was remanded in custody last November with the remainder of the sentence suspended from Friday. Judge Sinéad Behan imposed that sentence, now suspended, on 36-year-old Gideon Cullum of Fourcuil, Clonakilty, County Cork. Barrister Ben Shorten said previously: “He is highly incentivised to engage with the probation service. There was no interaction — it was click and go,” Detective Garda Ryan said. Judge Behan compared it to the honesty box system.
