This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Sean Dunne’s bankruptcy was temporarily extended by the High Court on 11 July 2016, pending further order. The application concerned alleged non-cooperation with official assignee Chris Lehane, who was administering the bankruptcy.

The ex-parte order was granted while the court considers whether a longer extension should be made. The application was adjourned for mention in October, and the potential extension could last up to five years.

Dunne had been due to exit bankruptcy at the end of July, after being adjudicated bankrupt over default on loans used to buy Dublin properties.
