By Tom TuiteA Dublin man with 101 prior criminal convictions who began using drugs at the age of 10 has been given a four-month jail sentence for heroin dealing. Judge Blake heard that Fagan had 101 prior convictions; some of them were for theft, motoring, vehicle theft, public order and drugs offences. He began experimenting with drugs at the age of 10 when he started with cannabis before developing severe addictions to heroin and crack cocaine. The solicitor said Fagan has worked well to detox from drugs and has been tackling his addictions. Sentencing him to four months in prison, Judge Blake said he could have been given him up to a year, however, the guilty plea had to be taken into consideration.
