Dolores joins the Irish rich list

LIMERICK mum-of-six Dolores McNamara is now one of Ireland's 60 wealthiest people.

When she collects her €115m winnings, Dolores will jump straight into the country's rich list ahead of Van Morrison (€70m) and Peter and Margaret Barry of Barry's Tea, who have a personal fortune of €112m.

Dolores will become the second wealthiest Limerick person alongside the Sundance Kid, JP McManus.

Richer than singer Enya, Formula One boss Eddie Jordan, golfer Padraig Harrington Dolores will be €30m ahead of Dublin pub magnate Louis Fitzgerald. Dolores will be worth more than Westlife (€18m), Colin Farrell (€21m).

And she will have more wealth than the Irish international soccer team combined which includes wealthy stars like Roy Keane (€43m), Damien Duff (€8m) and Robbie Keane (€5m).

Even Posh n'Becks will trail in her wake. They have an estimated personal fortune of €94m.
