The Criminal Assets Bureau is to ask the High Court to order a sister of gangster Liam Byrne to promise a house she is due to hand over shortly to CAB will be intact. The houses, one at Grange View, Clondalkin, owned by Byrne, and at Kildare Road, Crumlin, owned by McGovern, were broken into and substantial damage caused to them, Grainne O'Neill BL, for CAB, told the court today. The court last month gave a stay of four months on an order the house be vacated. CAB wants Maria Byrne, the registered owner and sister of Liam Byrne, to give the undertakings before it is vacated. Some €750,000 was spent on fitting it with luxury improvements, all paid for by Liam Byrne, who also paid rent for it to his sister, the court heard previously.
