‘Practical’ McIlroy to sell €2.3m home

Golfing superstar Rory McIlroy is set to move back in with his parents after deciding to put his luxury Co Down home on the market.

But the manager of the world No 1 golfer last night denied that the decision to sell his €2.3m Moneyreagh pad had any security implications following his comments on feeling “more British than Irish”.

Horizon Sports Management’s Conor Ridge said: “This is purely a practical and a commercial decision, there were no security issues whatsoever.”
