Doyle family expected to vote in favour of €260m Ballsbridge sale

THE Doyle family is expected to vote for the sale of the 4.8 acres Ballsbridge site to property developer Sean Dunne for €260 million at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 27 September.

The notification of the EGM, issued late last Friday, said the Doyle family, which is acting in consort, had not decided how to vote. Weekend speculation said the family could vote against the deal and mount a bid to keep the entire group in tact.

Reliable sources suggest it would be wrong to conclude the family is against it, because the document said they had yet to make up their minds on how to vote.
