Gene pool doesnât look deep.
I see the fragrant Ms A Kerins is in the supreme court again. She must have a bucket load of cash for legal fees.
What she did was awful but this quote jumped out:
Judge Catherine Staines described the victim impact statements in the case as the âmost harrowingâ she has ever read.
She must have led a fairly sheltered life on the bench so far.
Court hears of surprise over willâs beneficiary
Deceased farmer referred to main beneficiary of contested will as a âfoolâ
AODHAN OâFAOLAIN
A deceased Co Galway farmer referred to the main beneficiary of her contested will as âOâToole the foolâ, the High Court has heard.
Maureen Donnellan, a distant cousin of the late Margaret Hernon, told the court she spent a lot of time with the deceased and knew her well.
Ms Donnellan, whose mother is a first cousin once removed of Ms Hernonâs, said she was very surprised when she heard several months after the Galway womanâs death that the bulk of her estate had been left to another cousin, Peter OâToole, of Leagaun, Moycullen. She said Ms Hernon did not like Mr OâToole and had a nickname for him.
She said Ms Hernon, who knew about Mr OâTooleâs past criminal convictions, called him âOâToole the foolâ and âonly fools and horsesâ â a reference to an alleged failed attempt to steal a horse box.
Ms Donnellan said Mr OâToole approached her several times asking her to bring Ms Hernon to his home so he could show her his cattle. Ms Hernon generally refused these invitations, she said.
Ms Hernon, who had no children and was an only child, died aged 91 on March 16th, 2017. She was predeceased by her husband Frank in 2005 and all of her first cousins.
Ms Donnellan said that following Ms Hernonâs death, Mr OâToole arrived at her motherâs home, which is next door to Ms Donnellanâs house, and banged loudly on the door.
Died intestate
She said that when she spoke to him that night in July 2017, Mr OâToole asked: âHow could you be so f***ing stupid as to lose everything?â
She said this was a reference to the fact that it was believed at the time that Ms Hernon, who the witness said could be indecisive at times, had died intestate. The encounter came before it was revealed that Ms Hernon had made a will in 2006.
Ms Donnellan was giving evidence on the second day of an application brought by Agustus âGusâ Kelehan, one of more than 40 offspring of the deceasedâs first cousins, seeking to set aside the 2006 will.
The case is against the executor of the estate, retired solicitor Liam OâGallchobhair, of Highfield Park, Galway.
Plaintiffs
It is claimed the will was procured by deceit. The claims are denied. The plaintiffs are no longer pursuing their allegations that the will was obtained by forgery or by undue influence, Mr Justice Cian Ferriter heard yesterday.
The court also heard Mr OâToole is not contesting the plaintiffâs evidence that he received several criminal convictions including for possession of a gun, used by others in a 1974 robbery, and for offences including obtaining property by deception and forgery in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s.
In reply to David Kennedy SC, Ms Donnellan said she helped Ms Hernon manage her affairs without trying to infringe on her independence. She said she was suspicious about the will and made a complaint to gardaĂ about it.
Under cross-examination by Michael Hourican SC, Ms Donnellan said that while names included on a draft will were similar to those on the 2006 will, she did not accept that the will is correct.
Ms Hernon left a valuable estate including a farmhouse at Barnacranny, Bushypark, Co Galway, with 13 adjoining acres of farmland, lands in Athenry, Co Galway, and a significant quantity of cash.
It had been believed that she died intestate, having never completed a will that she had been drafting.
Six months after her death her family was informed she made a will in 2006 before Mr OâGallchobhair, who was also nominated to act as executor of her estate. He ceased practising law in 2010.
The hearing continues.
I was in school with gushty (glugger) kaylahan. Bushypark/moycullen family bloodlines at their most undiluted.
Barnacranny is as prime as real estate gets in Galway. 450k for a site there recently.

Generally when somebodyâs âcaseâ is taken up by the far right itâs a dead giveaway theyâre a pathological liar.
He did ok in the end.
