Geraldine Gilligan sacks legal team in CAB action

The wife of convicted drug dealer John Gilligan has sacked the legal team which had been representing her in the action by CAB relating to the receivership of the Jessbrook equestrian centre in Meath.

Geraldine Gilligan informed the court that she had changed solicitors and was now giving instructions to Tiernan and Company in Dundalk.

In February this year the court appointed CAB legal officer Frank Cassidy as receiver to Jessbrook and a number of other properties which have been found to have been purchased with the proceeds of crime.

Arrangements have since been put in place to draw up a caretaker agreement for Jessbrook where Geraldine lives.

Lawyers for CAB told Mr Justice Kevin Feeney that there had been an interference with the property and they're anxious to put in place arrangements.

The matter has been adjourned until July 28 to deal with the matters raised relating to the caretakers agreement.
