Philip Baron, drugs baron

Convicted drug dealer Philip Baron has been seen driving into his Co Kildare mansion after returning to Ireland to set up a construction business.

These images show how the veteran criminal has settled back in Ireland after completing half of his 18-year prison sentence for drugs trafficking.

Until the UK police sought his extradition from Ireland in 2011, Baron lived a luxury lifestyle and led people to believe he made his fortune by selling deck chairs.

This lad was arguing against the new XL Bully rules in the Irish times today.
