In his closing speech, James Dwyer SC, defending, asked the jury if his client looked like a drug dealer to them.
“Is it suggested she was walking up and down the Square in Tallaght to sell it? Is this Breaking Bad meets Golden Girls?” he asked.
Following a trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, a jury on Friday returned a verdict of not guilty in relation to the charge of possession of cannabis for sale or supply.
Judge Pauline Codd dismissed the charge of drugs possession under the Probation Act.
During the trial, Sergeant Gearóid O’Brien confirmed to Joseph Barnes BL, prosecuting, that eight jars of what turned out to be cannabis were found in a spare bedroom in the house during a search and a weighing scales was also discovered at the property.
Ms Corrigan immediately admitted what it was, telling gardaí at the scene: “It’s for my glaucoma. I have emphysema.” She denied selling it.
