'Gangsta Granny' Deirdre Brady and her crimes for the Kinahan cartel

She made headlines for all the wrong reasons when she was dubbed a ‘Gangsta Granny’ in a pun on the David Walliams children’s book.
But Deirdre Brady insists that she was only doing what she told when she laundered cash for the mob and was too afraid to say no.
Brady just released from prison after serving three months of a one year sentence for her part in laundering cartel cash says she is just an ordinary person who was made do what she did. But was she happy to turn a blind eye.
Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the privileged lifestyle of a wife of a Cartel heavy and the shame of her undoing.

I think your expression of pity or sympathy is totally unfounded and misguided. Thousands of people go to work everyday,suffer injustices,toil to pay their way and their bills. You mentioned it briefly in your comments but that little circle of husband,wife & mistress must have so much blood on their hands you can never forget that. Numerous people and their families have been indelibly tagged with their evil deeds.

Spot on mate

Wat about the amount of blood the Sunday world has on its hands.. 🌍🤔💯💯💯

when you follow the money , there’s no telling where it will lead

If we are going after the money name the golden circle

The problem is that will never happen. Thats the problem. One is treated differently to the other.

Irish legal system is corrupt, it all depends who you are or who you know.

Ive followed Scottish gangland for decades but it's all gone quiet in the last couple of years, Irish gangland is far more active and interesting

[@xo4548]

I literally went to write this! 🤣🤣 she’s been burnt by a gangsta! Niall has more grey area, easier to relate to.

Can't watch this, with the loud, out of focus background,,, maybe I should go to specsavers, or does anyone else agree.

[@seamusburke9101]

You're easily upset aren't ya John. Why don't you just listen with your eyes closed or didn't you think of that.

[@johnrooney9170]

Ahhh Sheamus......if I had my eyes closed, I wouldn't be able to see your comment. Attention to detail, you'll understand when you're older. Have a nice day.

[@seamusburke9101]

@@johnrooney9170 I don't expect to get much older John I'm 66 already and I was never big on attention to detail. People have funny taste nowadays so I don't take any notice. My favourite background was always on anything that Frank Hall did long ago. Take care John.

[@edwardanderson2717]

Nicola sounds so bitter I think she went out with a dealer called Big Paddy when she was in college doing journalism and he absolutely kicked her back doors of the hinges for 2 years and then left her for her best mate that goes by the name of ginger the minger that was a right goer apparently!! And now she’s just so bitter because she’s never had it as good since she was dumper for the ginger !!!

[@parkgate-ub1ey]

Niall is watching the Sopranos at the moment and one of the worst characters for me is Carmella, she lords it over everyone as if she is Queen Bee but it’s all money from misery and deep down she knows it but makes out she’s whiter than white

[@Sarahmurray514]

She got 1 year.. If that was a man in her position. He would of got 10years

[@user-fq9ns1bp2u]

It's the money.no shame living next door to bomber kavana,once the money is gone they can't rebuild.Going from the top to the bottom,makes you feel that way.once a somebody now a nobody forgive the pun.makes you ashamed you f#cked it.high class to no class!!!

Have to admire certain gangsters TBF , the smart ones

[@johnconlon2207]

Whats to admire?. Their lack of conscience?

[@johnconlon2207]

Burst out crying. Only because he was caught. Having kids means nothing. The ability to reproduce does not excuse crime. Of course he was sorry he was caught. Its like wishing you had done a better job of concealing the evidence.
