Gallagher was 'far from insolvent', court told

Celebrity chef Conrad Gallagher was "far from insolvent" and his business was "thriving" when he moved his restaurant Peacock Alley to Fitzwilliam Hotel, Dublin Circuit Criminal has heard.

Ms Hazel Hurley, who worked as his accountant-technician when the restaurant was on South William Street, said she disagreed with the claim made by Michael Holland, owner of the Hotel, that Gallagher had been insolvent when he moved his restaurant to the hotel.
