A prosecutor said that police conducted the search of a house and a small quantity of cannabis was found in a plastic bag on a kitchen work top.

Davidson admitted it was his and was for his personal use.

His solicitor, Mr Pat Vernon, said he had previous similar convictions but the last one was in 2016.

District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, said given the defendant’s current status there was little she could do and imposed a two month custodial sentence.
