Partner of slain gangster Eamon Dunne seeks €250k insurance payout
Summary
Georgia Saunders, the partner of the murdered gangster Eamon Dunne, has filed a High Court claim against Irish Life Assurance Plc seeking €250,000 from a life insurance policy the couple took out in 2008. Dunne was killed in April 2010 while attending a birthday party in a Cabra pub; at the time of his death he was on bail awaiting trial for armed robbery and had been linked to about a dozen gangland murders. Saunders, who lives in the Netherlands, requests an order that Irish Life pay the policy amount and to enforce the contract. Irish Life contests the claim, arguing that the couple failed to disclose relevant medical information when applying online. The court heard that Irish Life had asked Saunders for details about Dunne's medical visits and alleged substance use, which Saunders had not provided.
