General’s widow to fight CAB claim on home

THE wife of notorious crime boss Martin Cahill has arrived back home to fight attempts by the State to seize their plush home in leafy south Dublin.

Frances Cahill moved back into the detached house in Cowper Downs, Rathmines, last week, three weeks before a court hearing to determine the future of the General’s home, estimated to be worth around €700,000.

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has applied to the High Court for an order to seize 17 Cowper Downs, along with two other properties.
