Motions brought by boom-time developer Seán Dunne in an effort to dislodge officials overseeing his bankruptcy have been dismissed by the High Court.

Mr Justice Liam Kennedy said Mr Dunne (aged 70) failed to bring new proceedings and instead took a procedurally incorrect route in seeking to challenge the validity of two officials’ appointments within the original bankruptcy case.
