Judge upset by O’Flynn brothers’ dispute

A CIRCUIT court judge described a planning dispute between two brothers as “one of the more upsetting cases” he has ever had to deal with.

Judge Patrick Moran made the comment on the third day of a civil action taken by Laurence O’Flynn and his wife Eileen against Laurence’s brother and sister-in-law, Michael O’Flynn and Joan O’Flynn.

Michael O’Flynn is the managing director of property developers O’Flynn Construction and the case centres on landscaping work carried out when he and his wife were developing a family home and driveway on their land at Kilcrea, Ovens, Co Cork.
