Defence counsel for Pavlov, Stephen O'Mahoney, told Judge James O'Donohoe that his client had embarked on the road to rehabilitation for his drug addiction.
He presented a letter from Coolmine Therapeutic Community, which he said gave a 'gold standard' for his client's efforts to rehabilitate.
Judge O'Donohoe told Pavlov that this was his 'last chance saloon' and decided to suspend the sentence of 15 months for a period of two years.
The sentence was suspended on condition that Pavlov keep the peace, provide clear urine analysis on a monthly basis and stay out of the city centre without just cause.

AntiSocial Asylum hotels
Anger has flared outside hotels used to house asylum seekers. Protestors say they are worried about illegal migration, cost to the taxpayer and a lack of consultation, but one issue seems to spark even more concern - the safety of women and children. Opponents have accused protestors of racism and whipping up hate. Is there any evidence that asylum seekers are more likely to commit sexual offences? We trace the clamour for more data to answer that question. Police have been given new guidance on disclosing the ethnicity and nationality of suspects in criminal cases - especially high profile ones. What might be the effect? And why are so many asylum seekers currently housed in hotels anyway? We hear how the system is supposed to work and how it's evolved.

BARABARA DAVIES: How the Dutch Letby walked free... She was a paediatric nurse jailed for killing seven patients – before her conviction was sensationally quashed. So what does her story mean for Letby's appeal?
Her story is horribly familiar. A hard-working blonde nurse found guilty of killing seven of her patients, including at least three babies, and told she will spend the rest of her life behind bars. Circumstantial evidence, including disturbing handwritten notes, apparent poisonings and a damning shift pattern which showed she was on duty at the time of all of the deaths.

Thomas Partey makes Villarreal debut off bench in victory over Real Oviedo
Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey made his Villarreal debut as a late substitute as his new side launched their LaLiga season with 2-0 home win against 10-man Real Oviedo. Partey, 32, who was granted conditional bail at Westminster Magistrates' Court last week after being charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, stepped off the bench in the 82nd minute. The Ghana international, who has denied all the charges against him, left Arsenal after his contract expired in June and joined Villarreal on August 7. Newly-promoted Oviedo were reduced to 10 men in the 27th minute when Alberto Reina received his second yellow card. Etta Eyong headed Villarreal into the lead two minutes later and Pape Gueye struck their second before half-time. The curtain was lifted on the new LaLiga season in an earlier kick-off at Estadio Montilivi, where visitors Rayo Vallecano beat 10-man Girona 3-1. Two goals in as many minutes from Jorge de Frutos and Alvaro Garcia put Rayo 2-0 up midway through the first half before Girona's Paulo Gazzaniga was sent off. The Argentinian goalkeeper was shown a straight red card in the 43rd minute after bringing down De Frutos in the area and Isi Palazon converted the resulting penalty. Joel Roca pulled one back for Girona in the second half but it was too little, too late.
