There are fears the effectiveness of the Criminal Assets Bureau may be hampered ahead of a move into smaller offices, with staff leaving as a result.
Sources have told the Irish Mirror the pending switch from Harcourt Square in Dublin to another location in the city will result in reduced desk space unable to accommodate all its personnel. It is understood a number of civilian personnel have already left the bureau in recent months, with more applying to transfer out.
Sources say CAB – which is technically independent of An Garda Siochana – will lose up to a third of its existing office space and may be unable to maintain its ongoing success rate.
