Christine Connolly gets €9k a month

The wife of discharged bankrupt developer Larry O’Mahony is to be given €9,000-a-month for the family to live on after applying to the High Court.

The allowance is to come out of €1m frozen monies pending a court ruling whether State-owned IBRC has any claim to it.

Christine Connolly claims she owns the monies from which the expenses are being paid and had sought living expenses of €10,000-a-month.
