Image: Leon Farrell/Photocall Ireland THE SON OF celebrity chef Rachel Allen has been remanded in custody until the end of the month in order to give his defence counsel the opportunity to secure residential addiction treatment for the 19-year-old.

“There is no point in minimising what has happened. He has knitted his own jumper. I will not let him do that.” Allen pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine on the same occasion. This is a Section 3 Offence of the Misuse of Drugs Act. The package was signed for and received by Allen. Gardaí observed him opening the package and intercepted. A small quantity of cocaine worth €66 was found in his wallet.

On 5 September 2018 a further small quantity of cannabis was found at Ballinamona, Shanagarry, Co Cork. The cannabis, which was found at his home, had a street value of €203.Siobhan Lankford, SC, representing Allen said her client was without previous convictions. She acknowledged that he had shown a lack of maturity in how he had responded to the serious charges and stated that he had left school at the age of 15. She said he had cooperated fully with gardaí.

Allen was supported in court by his father Isaac. In a statement last year Rachel Allen and her husband Isaac said they were “devastated” by the arrest of their son in relation to drugs charges.

Thats not him, hope she Sues.

Someone’s cooking the Allen recipe for avoiding prison

A tough situation which affects all the family. I hope he receives the treatment he needs and gets a chance to turn his life around. Such a young man deserves a second chance.

Can the Gardai go in and search RTÉ one of these days? Well overdue...

I don't get this! Why is the picture of his mother up She is not guilty of anything!!!

For once money didn’t talk

Mandatory 10 year sentence for that quantity of drugs which is obviously for dealing

Isn’t he the son of the man whose father Tim took the conviction for possessing child pornography in 2003 and should have got jail time but got away with community service? That Allen family. Ballymaloe

Don't care.

Give me a break . If that was anyone else they’d be send to prison in all
