Joshua Allen, the son of celebrity TV chef Rachel Allen, will discover next month whether a suspended prison sentence imposed for cannabis possession will be activated.

The 22-year-old - who is a great grandson of Ballymaloe founder, the late Myrtle Allen, and a grandson of TV chef Darina Allen - received a 15-month custodial sentence with 15 months suspended at Cork Circuit Court three years ago after he pleaded guilty to possession of more than €22,000 worth of cannabis for sale and supply in September 2018.
