Stefan Parkin with an address at Greenacres, Dundalk admitted committing the theft at Dunnes on February fourth last.
The court heard he had 13 previous convictions. The Defence solicitor said his client had a history of drug abuse and while he has been trying to deal with that and is drug-free 'unfortunately he substituted it with alcohol'.
