O’Donnell Supreme Court bid to stay in Gorse Hill mansion fails

A lawyer-turned-property speculator has until midday tomorrow to leave his former seaside mansion after losing a last-ditch attempt to challenge his eviction before Ireland’s highest court.
Solicitor Brian O’Donnell and his psychiatrist wife Mary Patricia had asked the Supreme Court to allow them to fight a Court of Appeal decision two weeks ago upholding trespass orders on the house known as Gorse Hill, at Killiney, overlooking Dublin Bay.
