A Co Kildare man has been sent back to prison for failing to keep the conditions of his early release from a seven year robbery sentence.

Andrew Scales (25), of Allenwood Heights, Droichead Nua, will appear again at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on March 29th for what Judge Patrick McCartan told him would be his final review.

Judge McCartan noted that Scales had broken the most important of his release conditions by associating with people he was ordered to avoid, drinking to excess and failing to accept counselling for alcohol through the Welfare and Probation Service.
