Trainer sues businessman over transfer of land

A well-known, retired horse breeder and trainer has launched High Court proceedings against a business man she claims wrongly transferred a plot of her land into his own name.

Former trainer Sheila Flannery claims in August 1996 she put a plot of land in Dunboyne, Co Meath, in Sean Kavanagh’s name for safe keeping, and on the understanding he would keep the site in trust for her benefit.

Ms Flannery, with an address at Lissadel Court, Driminagh, Dublin, claims that at the time she trusted Mr Kavanagh, and that he was her partner in an equine venture. However, she says that he subsequently transferred the property into his name
