Pregabalin: Judge calls for longer drug supply jail terms

Sentencing at Bishop Street courthouse in Derry on Friday, Judge McElholm said: “One can’t escape the fact a young man lost his life as a result of this defendant’s activities.”

The judge said it had been “a very difficult case” and that pregabalin was one of the most dangerous drugs in circulation.

The woman, who has been granted anonymity, admitted that she supplied pregabalin, a drug used to treat a range of conditions including epilepsy and anxiety, to other people.

Mr McElholm told the court in Derry pregabalin should be seen as a class A drug, adding that Just Stop Oil protesters had been jailed for four years.
