Man in court over raid at home of lottery winner’s son

A Limerick man appeared in court charged in connection with a burglary at the lakeside mansion owned by the son of Euromillions winner, Dolores McNamara.

The appearance of Jeffrey Lee, aged 41, of Cosgrove Park, Moyross, Limerick, at Ennis District Court, followed a major Garda operation on Wednesday that resulted in the arrest of Mr Lee and three others with addresses in Clare and Limerick.

The four, that included one teenager and two men in their 20s, were detained for questioning at Garda stations in Killaloe, Ennis, and Shannon, and Det Garda Bernard Casey told the court yesterday that Mr Lee made no reply when charged with theft at Tinerana House, Killaloe, on dates between Aug 17 and Sept 14.
