A Lotto winner has revealed he made three offers to buy a home seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau from gang boss Liam Byrne.
The man, who asked not be named, won a six-figure sum last year and wanted to buy No 2 Raleigh Square in Crumlin, South Dublin, for his niece and her children.
The property, which had been estimated as worth more than €1million – failed to sell after a year at an asking price of just €400,000.
