CAB seeking possession of Martin ‘the Viper’ Foley’s home over near €1m tax debt

The Criminal Assets Bureau is seeking possession of the Dublin home of Martin Foley on foot of a judgment against him for tax debts totalling almost €1million, a judge heard on Tuesday.

Judge Geoffrey Shannon was also told in the Circuit Civil Court that ongoing court interest charges had added a further €55,000 to an outstanding judgment against Foley for just under €916,000.

Foley, of Cashel Avenue, Kimmage, Dublin 12, is fighting CAB ‘s demands for possession of his home to meet at least part of an outstanding tax debt and he was joined in that battle by his wife, Sonia, who was made a Notice Party to the proceedings.

Mr Foley, described as a 74-year-old pension, is represented by barrister Keith Farry, who appeared with Dundalk Solicitor James MacGuill. Mrs Foley (48) who is represented by barrister John Temple and Roscommon Solicitors Staunton Caulfield, is supporting her husband on the basis the property being sought by CAB is her family home.
