Bidding on the plush home in Saggart, southwest Dublin - where senior members of the murderous gang hid out in 2014 - will begin at €550,000 on December 12 next. In the detached four bedroom residence , which is described as "impressive" by its sellers, there is approximately 3,410 square feet of living space across two floors and can be accessed by two separate sets of electric gates.

With weeds growing in its driveway, the inside remains luxurious with a grand entrance marked by a "staircase with rich wood banisters and grey carpeting." On its advert, estate agent BRG Gibson Auctions said: "The ground floor, spanning 1,490 square feet, includes a spacious front room with a bay window, a dining/living room featuring a classic fireplace with a white mantel and a guest toilet.

"Upstairs, the 1,920 square foot first floor includes four very large bedrooms with two.
