Dunne cannot conceive of returning to live in Ireland, court hears

Bankrupt developer Seán Dunne “cannot currently conceive” of any circumstances where he would return to Ireland and instead hopes to work in the US “into his 70s”, he told the High Court.

Mr Dunne, aged 59, said he hopes, following his discharge from US bankruptcy, to work in business in the US. He intends to stay in the US “most likely for the remainder of my life”.

Of his six children from two marriages, five live in the US and one in Ireland, he said in affidavits.
