No burning Beamers at Brian O’Donnell’s Barricade of Killiney Bay

“Are you giving guided tours?” asked a woman who stopped to politely inquire about the gathering outside solicitor Brian O’Donnell’s magnificent abode overlooking Killiney Bay.
In a way, the answer was yes, because the story of bankrupt O’Donnell’s attempts to keep Gorse Hill for his grown-up children is a four-year journey through the courts that has had as many twists and turns as the roads around which the wealthy weave their mansions and tennis courts here, next door to the likes of Van Morrison and Bono.
