Millionaire’s son ‘jumped from window’

GARDAÍ have mounted an investigation into the circumstances in which the son of lottery millionaire Dolores McNamara received serious leg injuries at a house near his mother’s luxury Killaloe mansion.

Initial reports indicate, Gary McNamara, 28, jumped from an upstairs window.

An ambulance was called to the scene at 5.10am yesterday and brought the injured man to Nenagh General Hospital.

He was later transferred to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick where he was treated for leg injuries which include a broken ankle.

His mother visited him at the hospital where his condition was stated to be comfortable.

Mr McNamara, who is building a €1 million mansion in Castleconnell where he already has a home, infuriated locals recently when he drove a van onto the local pitch on November 11 while an under age game was in progress.

Mr McNamara claimed he took the action after people attending the soccer match parked cars at the entrance to the five-acre site on which his new home is being built.

He hit the headlines shortly after his mother’s big win when gardaí uncovered a plot to kidnap him.

In another incident, the CCTV security system he installed in his €350,000 house in Castleconnell village was cut off and the local garda patrol car had its tyres slashed.

There was speculation at the time another plot to kidnap him had been foiled.

Regarding yesterday’s incident, reports state that gardaí were called to the house in Killaloe early yesterday by the owner.

It is understood gardaí tried to persuade Mr McNamara to leave the building before he jumped from an upstairs window.

Gardaí called an ambulance.

Mr McNamara was involved in an incident in Limerick city centre at Christmas two years ago.
