Bankrupt businessman Seán Dunne has told the High Court that injunction proceedings brought against him over two properties in Co Kildare are âa fraudâ.
Last week the court granted children of the bankrupt businessman a temporary injunction preventing him from selling or dissipating the proceeds of sale of two valuable properties located at 9A and 19 Churchfields, Straffan, Co Kildare located near the K Club resort.
They claim that the properties were assigned to or put in trust for Mr Dunneâs children. However, they allege their father is attempting to sell the properties for the bankrupt developerâs own benefit.
The High Court has granted family members of bankrupt businessman Seán Dunne a temporary injunction preventing him from selling or dissipating the proceeds of sale of two valuable properties located in Co Kildare.
The court heard that the properties had been assigned to or put in trust for Mr Dunneâs children, but it is alleged that he is attempting to sell the properties for the bankrupt developerâs own benefit.
The action has been taken by John Dunne, the businessmanâs son from his first marriage, along with Seán Dunneâs four sons, who are all minors, with Gayle Killilea, who is Seán Dunneâs second and now former wife.

Bankruptcy is a legal process where an individual is declared unable to pay their Creditors. The property or assets of an individual, who is unable to pay their debts (called a Debtor) are transferred to be sold by a person known as an official assignee who is given charge of the property by the High Court. When the property or assets are sold, the costs, expenses, court fees and certain priority debts are paid. After this, the net proceeds are distributed to those owed money (the Creditors).
