CAB face 'hard sell' in auction of cartel boss Ross Browning's plush house

Cartel boss Ross Browning’s plush countryside property, seized by the CAB and now up for public auction, will be “a hard sell,” according to sources.

This hatch led from the house to the warehouse and when officers from the CAB raided the property in 2018 a black Honda motorbike was at the foot of the escape hatch which a senior detective said in an affidavit “was clearly there for Browning’s use.” Now we can reveal that sources have said the property will be “a hard sell” for a number of reasons including the nature of its previous owner Browning as well as the lack of planning permission for several of the buildings.

The description of Chestnut Lodge cottage on the auction advert- where Browning’s mother Julie and her partner, ex-garda David O’Brien lived - says it is a “two bedroom cottage extending to approximately 164m2 while internally accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, open plan living/kitchen/dining area, two bedrooms and bathroom. The property is in good condition internally and has been finished to a high standard.

In his judgement, Judge Alexander Owens said Browning’s mother Julie Conway and her partner ex-garda David O’Brien, who had been living in Chestnut Lodge, be allowed part of the proceeds from the sale of the renovated cottage because they had put some of their own money into it. This included €40,000 borrowed from the Garda Credit Union.
