Boxing legend Kenny Egan has called for any money made from the sale of a Kinahan cartel mansion seized by CAB to be given to local drug task forces.
This week the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) seized ownership of an over €1M mansion in Saggart, South Co Dublin, which it said was under the control of the Kinahan cartel.
The mansion was given to mob boss Daniel Kinahan and his number-two-in-command Thomas ‘Bomber Kavanagh by businessman Jim Mansfield Jr - after his €4.5M cash property investment deal with the cartel went sour.

Following the landmark High Court hearing this week, the Mansfields agreed to surrender any claim to the house to the CAB, which now has ownership of the building and intends to serve both Kinahan and Kavanagh.
And now Olympic boxer Kenny Egan, who is a local Fine Gael councillor in the area, has told The Star that he believes the proceeds of the sale of the Saggart mansion be given to hardworking drug task forces.
“I would suggest sell the property and invest the money in the local drug task forces in the area - Clondalkin, Rathcoole and Tallaght,” Kenny said.
