Episode 580: Derek ‘Dee Dee’ O’Driscoll’s building site money racket
About this episode
A racket as children as young as 12 vandalise building sites. Contractors forced to pay protection money to senior career criminals Derek Dee Dee O’Driscoll and his enforcer David Reilly. And a county council holding the public purse string stuck in the middle.
Now a report says nobody is to blame but has yet to be published in full.
Nicola talks to Niall Donald about the sensation story uncovered after the Criminal assets Bureau delved into payments to two of Ireland’s best known criminals.
