Mary Cash has lost her appeal against an order to vacate her family home, purchased with proceeds from crime. The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's finding that the house had been bought with crime proceeds and dismissed Ms Cash's contention that the High Court did not adequately consider the risks of homelessness for her and her children. Ms Cash had previously pleaded guilty at Kilkenny Circuit Court to charges of money laundering.
Mary Cash, pictured leaving the Four Courts in 2023, has lost her appeal against an order to vacate her family home. Photograph: Collins Courtsdismissed Mary Cash’s appeal, saying the mother of three advanced “no real grounds” in her argument against the orders made concerning the Harpur’s Lane, Portlaoise property.
She was ordered last April to vacate the property by September. She appealed that order along with one appointing receivers with the power to sell the house. She noted he proposed to give “some leeway” to Ms Cash and her family “to afford them the opportunity to try and arrange their affairs”. She noted a four-month pause to the orders was “specifically tailored” to allow Ms Cash to make alternative arrangements for her children’s schooling.
The judge noted the evidence put before the High Court was that Ms Cash “was unlikely to be able to secure insurance” for the house.In its High Court proceedings, Cab had claimed the house was purchased mortgage-free in 2018 with proceeds derived from burglaries allegedly carried out by her husband, Andrew Cash, and her brother, Henry Kiely. Neither of them were subject to the proceedings.
