Judge grants temporary freezing orders in row over shares in Galway Clinic private hospital

Three companies involved in a dispute over shares in the Galway Clinic private hospital have secured a temporary High Court injunction freezing the assets of a company controlled by US-based medical doctor and businessman Joseph Sheehan Snr.

The injunction was secured by Marpole Ltd, BMD Investments Ltd and Parma Investments against Blackrock Medical Partners Ltd (BMPL) which allegedly owes the three firms over €800,000 in legal fees after it was unsuccessful in a High Court action against them.
