Criminal Assets Bureau established 25 years ago today.
Minister acknowledges the enormous contribution of this innovative law enforcement agency.
The Minister for Justice, Ms Heather Humphreys TD, has marked the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Criminal Assets Bureau with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris and Chief Bureau Officer, Detective Chief Superintendent Michael Gubbins.
The then Government of the time established the Bureau following the murder of the journalist Veronica Guerin and the subsequent enactment of the Proceeds of Crime Act 1996 and the Criminal Assets Bureau Act 1996.
Speaking at today’s press conference, Minister Humphreys stated,
“It is a great honour for me in my capacity as both Minister for Justice and Minister for Social Protection to congratulate the Criminal Assets Bureau on its 25th anniversary. The Bureau has been one of the great success stories in Irish law enforcement. Since its inception, the Bureau has been at the forefront of fighting organised crime in this jurisdiction and disrupting the activities of criminal gangs, by depriving them of ill-gotten assets.”
CAB recently published their annual report for 2020. Some of the notable recent actions in 2020 include in excess of €4.2 million being returned to the Exchequer and thirty-one new applications before the High Court under Proceeds of Crime legislation.
Minister Humphreys added,
“The key to the success of the Bureau is the multi-agency team approach comprising Gardaí, customs officers, revenue officials and social protection personnel. Over the last 25 years, the Bureau has retrieved hundreds of millions of euros in proceeds of crime, unpaid taxes and fraudulently obtained welfare payments. The Bureau has had some notable recent success with seizures of cryptocurrencies and the return of €5.5million of misappropriated funds to the Federal Republic of Nigeria“. “The Government is committed to supporting the future development and success of the Bureau and it is correct that we mark the 25th anniversary of its establishment with the creation of the Community Safety Innovation Fund, which will reflect the success of the CAB by providing additional funding for projects which will increase community safety”.
The Minister continued, “I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all past and current members of the Bureau for their exemplary service to the State and for their contribution to making the Criminal Assets Bureau such a success”.

Two Tipperary women have lost separate High Court claims for damages, made against Tipperary County Council; over injuries they suffered getting out of a swing at a Tipperary playground.
Ms Sarah Kennedy, from Ballyknockane, Clogheen, Cahir, Co. Tipperary, and Ms Susan O’Mahoney, of Ballyvera, Goatenbridge, Ardfinnan, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, both sued over ankle injuries they had sustained on two separate occasions, (July 13th, 2016 and March 30th, 2016 respectively), while using a children’s “bird’s nest” style basket swing, in a community funded children’s playground, in the village of Newcastle, latter some 16km from Clonmel, in Co. Tipperary.
Dismissing both their cases, Mr Justice Michael Twomey found that there was no negligence or indeed breach of duty by Tipperary County Council; deciding the accidents were caused by two adults using equipment not in any way designed for use by adults. He said common sense would tell any adult they should not use a swing designed solely for use by children.
Mr Justice Twomey stated, that an “impecunious plaintiff” (Person who brings a case, having little or no money) with an “unmeritorious claim” (A claim lacking in value or merit) for a minor injury, and who is hoping for a settlement, might bring a claim in the higher court, for “economic reasons”.
Both women were acquaintances and the cases were heard together, as they both involved similar claims. Both ladies were seeking damages from the council at the High Court level of more than €60,000.
The judge said that even if the claims had merit, they should have been taken in the district court, and if there had been any entitlement to damages, a reasonable and proportionate award would have been settled between €5,000 and €7,000 in damages.
One is reminded of a similar incident, when a 43 year old Fine Gael TD, Ms Maria Bailey, sued The Dean Hotel in Dublin. Ms Bailey was holding items in both her hands while having her photo taken, causing her to fall out of a swing on the 5th floor in Sophie’s Bar.
The Department of Health has confirmed 1,627 new coronavirus cases over the past 24 hours here in the Irish Republic.
There are 415 people in hospital with the virus, an increase of 7 since yesterday, with 70 patients now in intensive care units.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronan Glynn is urging the public to continue adhering to public health advice, and to staying at home if they have any Covid-19 symptoms, even if you are fully vaccinated.
The Minister for Health Mr Stephen Donnelly, has stated that the high number of Covid-19 cases is partly due to Ireland’s close proximity to the UK and the high level of movement between both countries.
Ireland has one of the highest vaccine uptake rates within Europe, but despite that, the country also has one of the highest incidence of the virus.
Latest figures show that there have been 13 Covid-19 related deaths in the week to Tuesday, October 12th, bringing the total number of deaths due to the virus this month to 35 here in the Irish Republic.
Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, a further 1,304 cases of the virus were also notified by the Department of Health, down from 1,471 on yesterday.
Sadly, 6 more coronavirus-related deaths have been reported over the past 24 hours.
The latest hospital figures show there were 345 patients with Covid-19 in northern hospitals today, down from 347 reported on Wednesday, with 38 patients in intensive care units, 5 more than reported yesterday.
Russia
In Russia, officials have registered 31,299 new infections and 986 deaths from Covid-19 over the last 24 hours, bringing their total fatalities to 220,315, the highest toll in Europe. With no restrictions in place, only 31% of Russians are fully vaccinated and independent polls taken show that more than half of the Russian people, sadly, are not planning on taking the vaccine.
Choosing to get vaccinated is an act of protection for yourself, as it may save your life; but it is also an act of solidarity with others; the more of us that get vaccinated, the safer we all will be.
