Gilsons disqualified as firm directors

The High Court has imposed a conditional restriction order of five years’ duration against TV presenter Glenda Gilson and a disqualification order of eight years against her brother Damien under the Companies Acts, arising from their involvement with a car company.

The terms were imposed by Mr Justice Paul Gilligan at the High Court yesterday.

Gary Lennon, who was appointed liquidator of Gilson Motor Company Ltd — which traded in high-value vehicles, and operated a car parking and valeting service at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin — had sought orders under section 160 of the 1990 Companies Act seeking to have Mr Gilson disqualified from acting as a company director.
