Criminal Assets Bureau Investigation
The Criminal Assets Bureau secured a freezing order from the High Court on 26 July 2007 based on its investigation of corruption in respect of bribes allegedly paid to councillors by Frank Dunlop to secure the rezoning on 16 December 1997 by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council of 107 acres (0.43 km2) of land assets owned by Jackson Way Properties at Carrickmines. This rezoning was investigated by the Mahon Tribunal in 2003. Lydon now stands charged with corruption following his district court appearance on Friday 22 October 2010 along with 3 other former FF councillors.
