A drug-dealer has had two years' imprisonment added by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to his current six-year sentence for another heroin offence committed while on bail. Sean McEntee was jailed for 7 1/2 years in July 1996 for dealing heroin in the Dublin's north inner city. The Court of Criminal Appeal later reduced the sentence to six years.

McEntee (25), unemployed, of North Great Charles Street, Dublin, yesterday pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of the heroin.
