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.

Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or bureau:
“How many condemnations I have witnessed more criminal than the crime!”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“If this bureau had a prayer for use around horse parks, it would go something like this: Lead us not among bleeding-hearts to whom horses are cute or sweet or adorable, and deliver us from horse-lovers. Amen.... With that established, let’s talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn’t mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
