Sat 09 Sep 2005Sean Dunne increases Jurys stake to 24%Developer Sean Dunne has raised his stake in Jurys Doyle to 24 per cent and is thought to be planning further purchases that could lift his position to 29.9 per cent of the company.This would leave Mr Dunne with an influence equal to that of the Doyle family, who already control a 29.9 per cent stake. This is the highest level a shareholder can reach without being forced to launch an outright bid for the company.
