"Garda Patricia Davey told the court that at 2:40pm on April 25, she received a report of theft from Cara Pharmacy. Upon arrival, Garda Davey spoke to staff who told her that the defendant concealed the perfume in her bag. Brady was subsequently identified by CCTV. No property was recovered."
"On May 10, at 4:26pm, gardaí received a report of a theft from Dunnes Stores. The defendant put the stolen items in her bag and passed all points of payment. Brady was identified by CCTV."
"At 6pm, the same day, gardaí received a report of a theft from TK Maxx. Brady was stopped by the store's staff who took €240 worth of handbags off her. The defendant then exited the store with the rest."
"Ms Laura Spellman, solicitor (defending), told Judge Cunningham that her client recently got difficult news about her 18-month-old son and as a result, spiralled out of control. She added that Brady pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and that she came to court that morning to be charged. Ms Spellman asked Judge Cunningham to be as lenient as possible."
