Convicted paedophile John O’Neill has put his Lucan home up for sale after having been told by a judge it would have to be sold to pay the €100,000 damages awarded to the nephew he sexually abused when the child was six.

O’Neill has commissioned Lucan auctioneer PJ Garvey to sell the house at 86 Sarsfield Park, Lucan, “by private treaty” which means the price will be negotiated in secret between O’Neill and any prospective purchaser.
