PROPERTY developer Sean Dunne has added to his Jurys Doyle stake in a further move to safeguard his attempt to buy the hotel group’s €260 million Ballsbridge site.

IF Precinct fails to find new financing for its aborted Jurys Doyle bid the impact on developer Sean Dunne’s €200m investment in the business could be massive.

JURYS DOYLE shares hit €18 per share in early trading yesterday, raising expectations of a challenge to the Precinct bid of €17.50.
