An application by the State to confiscate the assets of a jailed brothel-keeper has opened at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Martin "The Beast" Morgan (aged 44) is serving a three-year sentence imposed in March 2008 by Judge Frank O’Donnell following his unanimous conviction by a jury of organising prostitution and running a brothel at a Bachelor’s Walk apartment in the city centre on dates from August 22 to October 10, 2005.
