Did he simplify it? I know he managed Offaly footballers, that’s his background.

Divilly was doing a tackle workshop and they brought rouse if explaining a certain rule change and impact - wasn’t the clearest

Divilly is a clever enough man as well who I’d have great time for. A sport that needs to change rules every so often mustn’t be a good sport, that’s all I can say.

In another grant of probate this week, former Moneycorp Europe chief executive Bryan McSharry of Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, left an estate of almost €3.8 million.

The value of estates can include property, including the family home, and other assets.

Mr McSharry died suddenly in Co Wexford in August 2023, aged 55.

Mr McSharry, was a son of former Fianna FĂĄil tĂĄnaiste and European Commissioner Ray MacSharry and brother of independent, formerly Fianna FĂĄil TD for Sligo-Leitrim Marc MacSharry.

The businessman, who began his career at Investec before taking up roles as head of treasury sales at Anglo Irish Bank and its successor, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, helped to bring foreign exchange services company Moneycorp to Ireland in 2013 along with his former Anglo colleague Tiarnan O’Mahoney.

Small enough estate for a career SC. You’d assume the house would account for half of that. He must have been rifled at some stage by a Derek Quinlan type.

Tax planning - clever lads don’t be leaving much in the estate. If the wife is alive I think she inherits family home by survivorship so outside the estate.
