Summary

A legal dispute between Castlethorn Construction and Patrick White's companies over the future of €18.5m of development land at Killeen Castle, Dunsany, Co. Meath, was resolved. The case, admitted to the Fast Track Commercial Court last year, centred on White's claim that his companies had a contract to purchase the 600‑acre site for a 177‑bed hotel, leisure centre, golf course and 130 housing units. Castlethorn and its directors denied the claim. On 11 January 2022, after out‑of‑court discussions, the parties reached a settlement, which was accepted by Mr Justice Denis McDonald, who praised the resolution.
