Who owns this most expensive home?

Mystery surrounds the ownership of a Dublin 4 house sold last year by Sean and Gayle Dunne ahead of a hearing into plans to build four new homes on the grounds. Niall Murray reports.

Walford on Shrewsbury Road was the most expensive home in Ireland when it sold for €58m in 2005. But in a €14m deal last year, it was sold to Cypriot-registered Yesreb Holding Ltd whose owners remain a secret.

It has been suggested by some parties, who have appealed the decision of Dublin City Council to grant permission for the construction of more houses on the site, that the Dunnes may still have beneficial ownership of the property.
