Laurence and Rosaleen Boyle lost their application for legal aid in the High Court, reported on 24 October 2018, while challenging a Criminal Assets Bureau claim over property and cash. The couple denied that the assets were proceeds of crime.

The claim concerned a house in Finglas, an apartment in Bulgaria and about €72,000 found at the couple’s home. They said they could not afford lawyers to contest the proceedings.

Ms Justice Carmel Stewart dismissed the application, finding anomalies and a lack of explanations in relation to the assets. The matter was adjourned to November.
