Contempt proceedings adjourned against man who faked kidnapping

Contempt proceedings against former property developer Kevin McGeever, who faked his own kidnapping, have been adjourned at the High Court for two weeks.

Mr McGeever is alleged to have failed to provide a truthful and accurate statement of means in response to efforts by businessman James Byrne to recover a judgement of €1.18m obtained against Mr McGeever.

The alleged failure has resulted in committal proceedings being brought against Mr McGeever. The application, which has been opposed, has been before the courts on several previous occasions. It had been adjourned to allow Mr McGeever take certain steps including providing information and documentation on a property called ‘Nirvana’ located in Craughwell, Co Galway.
