Sean Dunne has filed a fresh objection to the distribution of $3.8m of the remaining assets in his US bankruptcy case. Mr Dunne built a sprawling property during Ireland’s Celtic Tiger boom, only to see it collapse in a massive pile of debt after the 2008 financial crisis. Owing hundreds of millions of euros, Mr Dunne and his then wife Ms Killilea moved to the US in an attempt to start over. Shortly after the trial, it emerged that Mr Dunne and Ms Killilea had divorced. Mr Dunne has fought ever since to overturn the verdict and block distribution of the money the jury ordered him to pay.
