Sean Dunne is the most co-operative bankrupt under scrutiny, say lawyers

It is of “paramount importance” to Sean Dunne “to get free of the shackles of bankruptcy”, lawyers for the developer have told the High Court.

And Mr Dunne considers he is the “most co-operative bankrupt under scrutiny” his counsel William Fawsitt told the court as he said the businessman is anxious an application to extend his Irish bankruptcy, which Mr Dunne opposes, is heard.

Counsel opposed an application by the official assignee Chris Lehane, who is administering Mr Dunne’s Irish bankruptcy, for an adjournment of the extension application to allow the Mr Lehane consider materials filed by Mr Dunne last week in opposing it.
