Early trial date urged as son-in-law sues 89-year-old in property row

At the Clare Registrar’s court, Derek Sheahan BL, counsel for Colette Holmes, applied that the court action being taken by Bill Hanly against Mrs Holmes and two of her sons be assigned an early trial date as the woman is elderly.
Mr Sheahan handed a letter into court from Mrs Holmes’ GP “underlining the distress that this is causing her — the plaintiff, Mr Hanly is her son-in-law”.
