Last property in Gilligan criminal empire cleared for sale at €380k
Summary
The High Court has authorised the sale of the last property linked to John Gilligan, a three‑bedroom house at Willsbrook, Lucan, for €380,000. The house had been rented to long‑term tenants after seizure by the Criminal Assets Bureau. Justice Carmel Stewart granted the sale, allowing Gilligan's daughter Tracey to receive 20 % of the net proceeds. REA McDonald estate agents secured a buyer; they argued the €380,000 price reflects fair market value due to required repairs and noise from a nearby road, which had reduced interest over the past three months.
