A notorious Limerick crime family member and convicted killer charged with money laundering was living in a “modest” council house – not in a “palatial home overlooking Lough Derg.” 

Richard Treacy, aged 37, of Downey St, Garryowen, Co Limerick, was claiming social welfare and there was no record of him ever working, the Special Criminal Court heard.
