Gangland figure Christopher ‘Git’ Waldron has lost almost €900,000 to the Criminal Assets Bureau as his Cabra home goes up for sale.

Waldron, along with his brother David, have been the targets of CAB in a series of long-running cases in which their properties have been the focus of High Court actions.

Git Waldron was an associate of Eamonn ‘the Don’ Dunne and he and his brother are believed to have filled the void left by Dunne after his murder in Cabra, Dublin, in 2010. They are also known associates of Wayne and Alan ‘Fatpuss’ Bradley.

This week Git’s Cabra home at Killala Road was advertised for auction later this month with a reserve price of €275,000.

But last year a similar end-of-terrace house on the same road went for €344,000.

A granny flat at the rear of the property is also likely to add value and attract the attention of investors.

An estimated €430,000 was spent on renovated the house, according to CAB which was bought by Waldron for a bargain €50,000 in 2013, according to the Price Property Register.

Within six months of the purchase, he was granted planning permission to carry out the refurbishment which doubled the size of the house.

Adding the €77,000 from seven designer watches which have already been sold along with a sum of cash, adds up to a loss of around €860,000.

The house is currently being advertised on Daft to be auctioned by BRG Gibson in an on-line auction on the 25 April.

The house is described as being: “Finished to a high standard internally, the property is sure to appeal to a range of buyers and investors alike.”

The bedrooms all have plenty of fitted storage and the extension has a large bright attic space.

Just last month CAB announced they had taken charge of the property to bring an end to the long-running legal case.

“In the context of those proceedings the Bureau provided evidence that Christopher Waldron funded the purchase of the subject assets through the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Cabra and Finglas areas of Dublin,” it was stated.
