Architect: Morrisons upset over work

An architect who represented Van Morrison and his wife Michelle during negotiations over the redevelopment of their neighbours’ Dalkey home has said they were “upset” over the work.

James Horan told the High Court yesterday he wrote a letter on behalf of the Morrisons in 2008 in which he said they were “particularly upset” and stating all matters before that time had been “for discussion only”.

The letter was sent to new architects representing the Morrisons’ neighbours, Conor and Eileen Kavanagh, who redeveloped their Mount Alverno home at Sorrento Rd and Nerano Rd, Dalkey.
