Keane gang member and wife spent €59k renovating Limerick house despite neither having jobs

Couple before Supreme Court sentence hearing on money laundering charges

Warren Hehir, from Limerick, has pleaded guilty to handling cash to the value of €59,000, knowing or believing or being reckless as to whether the property was the proceeds of criminal conduct. 

A member of the Keane gang in Limerick and his wife spent €59,000 carrying out "extensive works" to a house in Garryowen, despite neither of them having a job, the Special Criminal Court has heard.

The three-judge court also heard during Monday’s sentence hearing that the couple had their wedding reception at Bunratty Castle in Clare in 2019, which was a "significant family occasion" for the Keane organised crime group.
