Patrick Hogan secured interim High Court injunctions on 4 May 2017, after alleging his nephew withdrew €133,000 for his own use without permission. The orders prevent Thomas Kelly from reducing, transferring or diminishing assets below €200,000 and from selling a property. Hogan’s lawyers said Kelly had been authorised to withdraw money from his uncle’s Edenderry Credit Union account to help manage his finances. A forensic accountant calculated that €153,000 was withdrawn between 2012 and 2016, while Hogan’s lawyers said most was not used for his benefit. The orders were granted on an ex-parte basis and were returnable the following week.
