Dunne’s wife aims to halt case over assets

The wife of bankrupt developer Sean Dunne wants to halt “oppressive” Commercial Court proceedings brought against her over alleged invalid transfers of various of her husband’s assets to her, including a hotel in South Africa valued at more than €18m.

Chris Lehane, the official administering Mr Dunne’s Irish bankruptcy, previously said he remains unclear of the value of certain alleged transactions between Mr Dunne and Gayle Killilea Dunne but it appeared these involved “tens of millions of euro in total”.

Ms Killilea, with an address at Greenwich, Connecticut, is seeking to halt the proceedings brought against her here by Mr Lehane , arguing she does not have “limitless” assets.
