Woman denies earning €2m a year from running Dublin brothel

The woman convicted of allowing a Dublin city centre apartment to be used as a brothel has claimed she owned "the whole escort operation" but denied she would earn up to €2m a year from it.

Deena Edridge, also known as "Chloe Taylor" agreed at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that the brothel would make several thousand Euro on average per day and that she made a profit of €4,100 from the 7pm - 5am shift on October 6, 2005 which was "the least busy day" that week.
