Mr Conroy has denied having wrongly influenced Mr Kavanagh in any way in the changing of his will. Judge O’Connor described the proceedings as a very sad and serious case in which Mr Conroy had produced a home-made will claiming he was entitled to the property. It seems extraordinary and almost incomprehensible that over three to four years an elderly man would pay nothing for taxis but would pay €40,000 for meals,” Judge O’Connor said. “This has ended in a straightforward clash between Mr Conroy and Mr O’Ceallaigh, a case in which charities lose out,” he said. Judge O’Connor told Mr Eanna Mulloy SC, who appeared with Mr Tim Dixon for Mr Conroy, that an affidavit detailing bank transactions should be provided to the court within the next two weeks.
