Details of claim by director Sheridan challenged in High Court

The detail of a €4m claim by film director Jim Sheridan and his wife, Fran, over alleged defective works on their luxury seafront home in Dalkey, Co Dublin, has been challenged in the High Court.

Barrister Marcus Dowling, representing one of eight defendants being sued by the Sheridans, yesterday asked Mr Justice Frank Clarke not to allow the couple to expand on their original claim.
