CAB put John Gilligan's bungalow up for sale, marking end of 20 year legal battle to retain assets

Lucan auctioneers REA McDonald have confirmed it has received instructions from the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) to put a bungalow owned by convicted gangland criminal, John Gilligan, up for sale.

The bungalow which is located next to Jessbrook Equestrian Centre and set on 5.6 acres of land, is expected to be on the market in the coming week with a very conservative guide price of €120,000.

This is the final lot in the convicted gangland boss’s property portfolio, seized by CAB from Gilligan whose wealth was amassed from drug trafficking and illegal operations.

The Supreme Court rejected Gilligan’s final attempt in June to retain the remaining houses in his portfolio, including the bungalow beside Jessbrook Equestrian Centre near Enfield, once run by Gilliagan’s wife, Geraldine.

The bungalow is described as having seven bedrooms and four bathrooms with extensive rural views and will undoubtedly attract huge interest from potential investors purchasers.

The sale notably marks the end of Gilligan’s 20 year struggle with the Courts to retain his remaining assets and the sale will likely exceed the conservative guide price of €120,000.
