A Dublin woman has joined her former partner in pleading guilty at the Special Criminal Court to laundering money believed to be the proceeds of criminal activity. Earlier this month, Walsh (37) pleaded guilty at the Special Criminal Court to laundering €62,000 in crime cash between June 1, 2016, and January 31, 2017, relating to sums discharged and owing to a building contractor. Walsh is charged with 24 non-scheduled offences and Ms O'Hara is charged with 20 non-scheduled offences. All the charges relate to money laundering and terrorist financing within the State and include allegedly using crime cash for a deposit on a house. Today, O'Hara only spoke to answer "guilty" when the single charge was read to her by the registrar.
