Restriction orders sought against model Glenda Gilson and brother over involvement with motor company
Summary
The High Court was asked to impose restriction orders on model and TV presenter Glenda Gilson and her brother Damien Gilson, both directors of Gilson Motor Company Ltd. The company, which traded high‑value vehicles and ran a parking and valeting service, was wound up in 2011 after failing to pay €141,937 in taxes. Liquidator Mr Gary Lennon, appointed by the court, sought a five‑year disqualification for Damien under Section 160 of the Companies Act and, alternatively, a five‑year restriction on Glenda under Section 150, limiting her ability to become a director unless capital requirements were met. Glenda opposed the application; Damien, unemployed and unrepresented, did not oppose. The liquidator argued that neither sibling acted honestly or responsibly, that the company kept no proper books, and that funds were diverted to defraud Revenue.
