Referring to issues at Ezeon, Martin Hayden SC with Keith Farry BL instructed by Ogier Leman Solicitors, representing the firm, told Mr Justice Alexander Owens at a court hearing that there was “something rotten in the state of Denmark”.
Mr O’Gara and Mr O’Driscoll were friends for many years before Mr O’Driscoll, who had managed pubs previously, raised the idea of opening a pub together in 2006. Mr O’Gara said he was brought in as “a name” to link to the pub for advertising and promotional reasons. Mr O’Flynn has attempted to challenge Mr O’Driscoll’s personal insolvency arrangement in a number of previous bids before the courts.
In an affidavit submitted to the judge, Mr O’Gara said he learned at a meeting in September 2020 while signing off on Ezeon’s 2019 financial statements that there was a deficit at the firm and that money was missing from the company. “I have a friend who owns a gym near the pub and he would see the debtor [Mr O’Driscoll] leaving the pub in the early hours of the morning in a very poor state,” he said.
