The Criminal Assets Bureau is investigating more people and organistations in West Dublin than any other Garda Division in the country.
Today's Sunday Independent reports up to the end of last month, there were 1,321 targets under investigation by CAB across the country, with 235 of those in West Dublin.
Last week, CAB told the High Court that building firms were handing over between €1,200 and €1,500 a week to stop intimidation of workers at sites in Cherry Orchard.
The Bureau is continuing its investigations of such protection rackets while the Government has also announced an independent inquiry.
