Lawyers for the head of the O'Brien clan, who this week secured judgment for €7.9m against a company controlled by businessman Denis O'Brien which reneged on a land deal, are now seeking to have the well known entrepreneur and other directors of the company made personally liable for the costs of the action.

The costs of the action are understood to be in the region of €250,000.
