Vegetarian woman claims brother hung animal carcasses in kitchen in inheritance case

Their father died intestate in September 1987. He was predeceased by his wife and the couple had four children

On Wednesday, Mr Justice Senan Allen, on behalf of the three-judge Court of Appeal, said Catriona Cunniffe had not shown any error on the part of the High Court.

A woman has lost an appeal over her claim she did not get her full quarter share of her father's IR£243,000 (€308,000) estate after he died 36 years ago when she was 17.

Catriona Cunniffe, who is in her late 40s, also claimed her brother Michael and sister Martina had reneged on an agreement that she would be entitled to reside for as long as she wanted in their former family home at Lisdeligney, Killimor, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, and that as a result she suffered personal injury.
