Convicted criminal Brian Grendon will be sentenced next week after he pleaded guilty to tax offences on more than €27,000, which Gardaí found stuffed in his wardrobe.

Grendon, who is in custody and before the court on unrelated charges, denied he was involved with an organised crime group when quizzed under arrest and told officers he liked staying at the station.

I'm talking to Niall Donald about Grendon and his problems with the revenue.

There was an interesting case heard this week around Brian Grendon, who was basically is due to be sentenced next week after he's been found.

You know, he's been found guilty on an income tax.

You're not paying income tax on a sum of money which was found in his home during a raid in 2022.

Now, Grendon is before the court's

on an unrelated matter also but we're just going to refer to this case so Grendon is described in court as a car dealer and this relates to a search of his home in 2022 when this sum of money was found in various envelopes basically in the wardrobe of the home he

was arrested and held in a Garda station for a considerable period of time, over 36 hours.

And how he behaved in the Garda station is quite interesting.

We heard the details in the court.

He pretty much, you know, keeps silent other than answering a few questions.

And to take ownership of the cash, although he says it's legit, he gets it from car dealing, but it has nothing to do with his wife and children.

So his home is in Rowla Park in Clondalkin.

Yeah.

And he actually, Grendon actually ultimately, who's 48, pleaded guilty to this charge of failing to remit income tax payable.

And this was before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

This was the sentence hearing and he's due to be sentenced next week.
