Dunne ordered to stop hiding behind Irish law

Sean Dunne has been told by a US judge to stop using Irish in-camera law and answer questions about his financial transactions with his wife Gayle.

Mr Dunne refused to answer questions at his last creditor’s meeting in July, leading bankruptcy trustee Richard Coan to abandon proceedings and ask that he be held in contempt.

Judge Alan Shiff yesterday deferred the contempt action but ordered Mr Dunne to hand over documents and answer all questions in future hearings.
