The revelation comes as John Magnier and his children, John Paul Magnier and Katherine Wachman, are embroiled in a court action aimed at enforcing the sale of Barne Estate, a 751ac estate near Clonmel. Court filings by the Barne Estate legal team this week denied there was any binding deal with the Magniers and counter-claimed for €22.25m in damages for slander of title.
Court documents also allege that brown envelopes containing €50,000 in cash were delivered by the Magniers for the use of Barne Estate beneficiaries Richard and Alexandra Thomson Moore.
