Street dealer who sold ecstasy to undercover garda remanded in custody
Summary
Adam Nevin, 27, of Clondalkin, pleaded guilty in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to three charges of possessing MDMA for sale or supply at Sin Nightclub, Clondalkin Community Centre and Clondalkin Shopping Centre in September 2012. He had 23 prior convictions, including two drug‑dealing offences dealt with in the District Court. Nevin had approached an undercover Garda at a nightclub, offered to sell ecstasy tablets, and the officer paid €20 for four tablets, then €60 for ten tablets, and later €300 for a bag of tablets. Nevin was arrested after discarding the bag, which was recovered and tested as MDMA. Judge Martin Nolan revoked Nevin's bail and remanded him in custody until his sentence on 17 February. Nevin's defence counsel argued that he had secured work in Norway and was working to overcome his addiction, requesting the court not to imprison him. The case remains pending sentencing.
