Weather delays Dunne hearing

The blizzard conditions affecting the northeastern US have delayed an attempt by former developer Seán Dunne and his wife, Gayle Killilea, to have a case against them dismissed.

Their lawyers had been due to argue that this should happen because all the key players in their row with Nama are Irish.

Nama has taken an action in the US against the couple, other parties, and linked companies over claims that the developer fraudulently attempted to hide profits from the purchase and sale of properties in Connecticut and in Switzerland.
