A Kildare man who minded an “arsenal” of firearms and ammunition for the Kinahan cartel has been jailed for 10 years and six months. Presiding judge Mr Justice Paul Coffey said the nature and quantity of the firearms, ammunition and other items, warranted an inference that the “arsenal” was assembled to “support and sustain organised crime of the most serious nature”. Along with 17 firearms in total, Mr Justice Coffey said two silencers, two electronic tracking devices, a radio and a glove were found. Mr Justice Coffey said Brady was assisted by two other persons who had been dealt with previously. Mr Justice Coffey said the court would reduce the headline sentence to 11-and-a-half years to take account of the mitigating factors.
