A legal action against a solicitor over her alleged failure to advise two businessmen of the true nature and circumstances surrounding certain land deals in Co Offaly where secret profits were made has been settled and struck out at the Commercial Court.
The defendant solicitor, Miriam Kavanagh, had alleged it was former Fianna Fáil councillor Gerard Killally who was the wrongdoer and he was joined as a third party to the case on that basis earlier this year. The third party issue was also settled yesterday and struck out by Mr Justice Peter Kelly.
Declan Guing, Carrick Road, Edenderry, and Frank Lawlor, Clonmullen Lodge, Edenderry, had brought their action against Ms Kavanagh, practising as Miriam Kavanagh and Company, Jamestown, Co Laois.
