Boza had entered the shop, proceeded to the off-licence and placed €727 worth of alcohol in a trolley.
He passed all points of payment, leaving the store and making good his escape.
Boza had previous convictions for offences including theft. He had worked in construction but when he became unemployed, he fell in with a “different circle of friends”, his lawyer said.
Boza developed an addiction, ran up debts and got into difficulties.
The judge said he was taking the mitigation into account but also had to consider the accused’s prior convictions and the fact that the goods were not recovered.
