Show Notes
Take yourself back to the Celtic Tiger. Business is booming, properties are flying off the market. This is the environment in which Brian and Mary Patricia O’Donnell built up their mammoth property portfolio, at one point valued at over €1bn. Their Dublin home, Gorse Hill on upmarket Vico Road in Killiney, was repossessed by Bank of Ireland following a much-publicised stand-off in 2015. The mansion, which looks out over the Irish Sea, was sold two years later for €9.5m. Now, nearly a decade after the O’Donnells were ordered to leave the property, they are back in the news.
