the time; but that there could have been some. Criminal Assets Bureau investigation and subsequent legal actions The Criminal Assets Bureau secured a High Court order preventing the sale of of land assets owned by Jackson Way Properties Ltd in Carrickmines. An investigation of corruption was being instituted on the basis of bribes allegedly paid to councillors by Frank Dunlop to secure re-zoning on 16 December 1997. The re-zoning was investigated by the Mahon Tribunal in 2003. On 26 October 2010, Cosgrave appeared at Dublin District Court charged with five offences. He is alleged to have received corrupt payments between 1992 and 1997 in relation to the re-zoning of Jackson Way Properties Ltd. In April 2012, he failed in his attempt to stop his trial on corruption charges. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision by a majority of three to two. He went on trial in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 4 July 2013, on five counts of corruptly receiving money on dates between June 1992 and December 1997. The trial subsequently collapsed, and a nolle prosequi verdict was entered on the record.
