In mitigation, Mr Farrell said his client had entered a guilty plea and was due out of custody soon. He added that Mr Brennan had “another matter pending”.
The court heard that the defendant’s last conviction was under section 3 of the , for which he received a three-month sentence.
Judge Carthy convicted and sentenced Mr Brennan to one month in prison.
