Gilligan’s ex-wife tells court  she lives on €80 per week

Ms Gilligan, who said she legally separated from John in 1995, said the €5,000 per annum she receives from a man called Troy Jordan, a Kildare stud farm owner “for grass”, is her only source of income, which, she agreed, works out at around €80 per week.
