21 Swan Grove
Cahill was living at 21 Swan Grove at the time of his murder. In the film The General (1998), the shooting is inaccurately depicted as occurring here rather than on Charleston Road. Although the house belonged to his sister-in-law, Patricia "Tina" Lawless, the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) alleged that Cahill purchased it from Dublin Corporation in 1992 for £19,600. In 2005, CAB seized the house and sold it.
