James and Patrick Dooley dispute sister’s claims concerning their handling of property assets

End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites and the Path of Political Disintegration review: Bleak vista for years aheadEarlier, outlining the application, barrister Declan Whittle, with barrister Arthur Cunningham, for Ms Healy, said Mary Dooley, of Knocklong, Limerick, a mother of four, made a will on November 13th 2017 in which she appointed her husband as executor of her estate.

At the time of her death, Mrs Dooley was beneficial owner of a 20 per cent shareholding in DDL, incorporated in 1975, Mr Whittle said. Patrick and James Dooley were respectively appointed as directors of DDL in January 1983 and May 1995. Among the issues a court should scrutinise is whether the 43-month delay complied with the Companies Act and whether Mrs Dooley had capacity to understand and sign the resolution, counsel said. Ms Healy believed she had not, but that was disputed.

Ms Healy needs substantial discovery of documents to deal with several claims by her brothers in opposing her application, including about the value of the Westland Row property, he outlined.
