Locals and passersby stood in amazement as the cortege, accompanied by three horse-drawn carts carrying floral tributes, snaked its way through the heartland of the Byrne organised crime group. The display of wealth by David and Liam Byrne was not new for locals over the previous years, as the brothers regularly drove around in flash monster jeeps and luxurious cars. Six houses in a tight triangle of adjoining roads — Raleigh Square, Windmill Road and the junction with Kildare Road — formed the beating heart of the Byrne crime group. In an updated statement on CAB operations against the Kinahan group provided to the Irish Examiner for this article, CAB said more than 48 assets were taken from the Byrne crime group. It said CAB previously targeted other significant members of the Byrne/Kinahan organised crime group, including Andrew Murray, Laurence Keane and Thomas Kavanagh.
