Horsebox seizure ‘threatens business’
Barrister Colm Hennessy said the horsebox, which can transport seven horses and sleep three assistants, originally cost Ms Dunphy, of The Cottage, Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny, €125,000 and had been seized on foot of a disputed service bill of more than €35,000.
He said Ms Dunphy, current Pony Dressage Team Manager for the Irish Equestrian Federation and selector of the Irish pony team, had left the Scania horsebox for a mechanical service with Paul and Breda Doyle, directors of Deoval Limited, Knocknagee, Co Carlow.
