Son of John Magnier says he handed over €50,000 in two envelopes as an ‘appreciation' to Barne Estate owners
A son of billionaire bloodstock magnate John Magnier has told the High Court he handed two 'brown' envelopes containing a total of €50,000 in cash to an estate agent involved in a failed €15 million property deal. JP Magnier said the envelopes were to be delivered to the beneficiaries of the Barne Estate as a showing of 'appreciation'. In other evidence on Thursday, a solicitor involved in the proposed conveyance of Barne Estate, Co Tipperary, which is the subject of the legal action by John Magnier who alleges the €15 million deal was reneged upon by the vendors, told the court an agreement was in place between the parties before an exclusivity document was signed. Joseph Fitzpatrick, of Smithwick Solicitiors, told counsel for the Barne Estate he secured an exclusivity agreement signed by both sides to run from August 31st to September 22nd, 2023, after hands were allegedly shaken on a deal. READ MORE Lawyers for Mr Magnier, founder of Coolmore Stud, have argued that a US-based construction magnate, Maurice Regan, the preferred buyer, engaged in a 'full-frontal assault' on Mr Magnier's claimed deal to buy the 751-acre estate. Mr Magnier's proceedings claim the Barne Estate owners reneged on the alleged deal, preferring to sell at the higher price of €22.25 million to Mr Regan, founder of the New York building firm JT Magen. Mr Magnier – along with his adult children – wants to enforce the alleged deal which they say was struck at an August 22nd, 2023, meeting at Mr Magnier's Coolmore home. They claim the exclusivity agreement would not permit its representatives to solicit or encourage any expression of interest, inquiry or offer on the property from anyone other than Mr Magnier. The Barne Estate has been held for the benefit of Richard Thomson-Moore and others by a Jersey trust. The Magnier side has sued the Barne Estate, Mr Thomson-Moore and three companies of IQEQ (Jersey) Ltd group, seeking to enforce the purported deal, which they say had been 'unequivocally' agreed. The Barne defendants say there was never any such agreement, as they needed the consent of the trustees to finalise any agreement and subsequently they preferred to sell the estate to Mr Regan, who is not a party to the case. On Thursday, JP Magnier told Paul Gallagher SC, for the Magnier side, his father asked him to get €50,000 in cash on September 8th, 2023, and to put it into two envelopes to be given to the Thomson-Moores. He said the money was an 'appreciation' for letting the Magnier side on to the Barne land, for their loyalty in honouring the deal and because they were allegedly 'cash strapped'. JP Magnier said he put the money into two envelopes and gave it to the estate agent at Barne Estate for them to be passed on to the Thomson-Moores. On September 11th, 2023, he said the estate agent met JP Magnier and 'pushed' the envelopes in his direction, saying the Thomson-Moores were concerned their farm manager may have seen the original transaction. Niall F Buckley SC, for the Barne side, asked what colour the envelopes were and was told they were brown. Mr Buckley put to JP Magnier the envelopes were to keep the Thomson-Moores 'sweet', as John Magnier was concerned they were going to pull out of the deal. JP Magnier said his father never said that to him. 'I take it you didn't ask for a receipt?' asked Mr Buckley. 'No,' JP Magnier replied. 'Doesn't that say it all,' Mr Buckley said. 'Knowing what you did about my clients' family circumstances and the need for them to provide for their child and given the vast amount of land you have, did it ever occur to you to let this one go?' 'It wouldn't be my call,' said JP Magnier. Mr Fitzpatrick told Martin Hayden SC, for the Barne Estate, the exclusivity agreement was not to further any negotiation but to keep the 'status quo' of the alleged sale agreement in order to further the preparation and receipt of the contracts. 'Exclusivity was not for negotiations going forward but to facilitate the contract,' said Mr Fitzpatrick. He said Mr Magnier had deposited €15 million in the Smithwicks' client account before any purported contract was signed in order to 'show good faith'. However, he said that a week before the exclusivity agreement expired, the Thomson-Moores said they were taking tax advice. 'We invited them to a meeting and that was refused, then the extension of the exclusivity was refused. It was clear they had no intention of signing with us and were running down the clock,' said Mr Fitzpatrick. The case continues in two weeks' time before Mr Justice Max Barrett.

More info Heartfelt tributes are flooding in for 'a true legend' and 'great friend' Eamonn Egan, 58, who tragically passed away after an accident at his home earlier this week. The father of three and boss of the Irish division of global insurance heavyweight Lloyd's, Mr. Egan, died in an incident involving a tractor loader at his home in Maynooth on Monday. Despite the swift response from emergency services, Mr. Egan was declared dead shortly after their arrival. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has said it is aware of the tragic event and has launched a full investigation. Well respected in the corporate circuit and a one-time amateur jockey, Mr. Egan's passing has left many in mourning. Mr. Egan's death notice on reads: "Egan, Eamonn, Ivy House, Clonfert, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, June 2 2025, following a tragic accident at home, deeply regretted by his loving children Eddie, Emma and Ashlie, wife Sarah, brothers Alan, Declan and Fergal, sister Lorraine, partner Katherine, grandson Ethan, extended family, colleagues and friends. Rest in peace.", reports the Irish Mirror. Over the past days, family and friends have been sharing memories of a man they hailed as "tremendous" and "a true legend". "My sincere condolences to the Egan family. Eamonn was a true legend. Rest in Peace," said one mourner. "We both attended Oatland's College. Although Eamonn was a few years behind me, our paths crossed many times over the years in the insurance industry. Eamonn was always a gentleman in my dealings with him," another person added. "Deepest sympathies to his family and friends on his untimely passing. May he rest in peace." A third said: "My condolences to the Eagan family on such a sad loss. I am genuinely sorry to lose such a good friend. Eamonn always had a kind word and was always great company whenever we were together. "Our time together on the board of the British Irish chamber of commerce, and together in the Royal Dublin society. Social events were always social events when Eamonn was there, and his charm and personality always made the occasion one worthwhile. RIP." Mr. Egan's remains will be laid out at his home on Sunday from 4pm to 8pm, with evening prayers at 7pm.

Buyers from 'The Pale' flock to sunspot Ballycotton as village marks first €1m+ house sale
IS Dublin, and Leinster, doing to East Cork's Ballycotton what American buyers are doing to Kinsale, driving prices up a gear, or several? Recent and just agreed sales would indicate an unqualified 'yes.' 5 Atlantic Terrace is new to market with agent Adrianna Hegarty: it dates to the early 1800s They include sale terms agreed after a swift and unrelenting bidding war at €1.1m for the refurbished Troy House, our May 10 Property & Home p1 and internal feature of a home done to the n-th degree by an interior designer owner Troy House is sale agreed at €1.1m, the strongest price to date in East Cork's Ballycotton : it soared past its €695,000 AMV, being bought by a Leinster purchaser, with a US bidder at the same €1.1 sum failing to get to view before the vendor accepted the Irish offer from within The Pale. Interior of Troy House Also just sale agreed is the diminutive boathouse, a wreck in stones on a tiny footprint by a secondary pier used by local fishermen: the old boathouse went for sale in April, guiding €70,0000 and is been bought by a Dulin bidder for €205k, to local amazement, with the buyer reportedly 'loving a project,' says selling agent Adrianna Hegarty, who says he hasn't disclosed if he plans a residential bolthole right by the water, or some commercial use. Ballycotton's old boathouse sale agreed at €200,000 'The holiday home here has taken off, people have waited years for supply here,' says Ms Hegarty as her June 2025 launch of 5 Atlantic Terrace at €395,000 (it's an executor sale) already has bidding on the c 700 sq ft quaint two-bed at €425,000 late this week, and is still climbing. View from 5 Atlantic Terrace With sea and pier views, and dual aspect/access, the compact early 19th century home has a wood-burning stove, double glazing and central heating, but still scores a F BER. Living room at 5 Atlantic Terrace Ms Hegarty notes sales on the charming terrace are uncommon, and attributes the current demand for the seaside village to a number of factors: She includes the proximity of Ballymaloe House, its cookery school and the Castlemartyr Resort; the impact of local entrepreneur Pearse Flynn whose Sea Church music venue, and just repositioned Cush restaurant (ex Pier 26) as well as the Blackbird pub and café has massively broadened the profile and driven visitor numbers to new heights. Daughter Niamh Hegarty of the same Midleton-based agency agrees: she says that relative proximity to Cork city and the airport also aids access - while parts of West Cork can be two or more hours from the city; she adds that online social media such as TikTok and Instagram reels are boosting Ballycotton's profile, beaches and beauty even further, with a number of major UK and US influencers adding to the overall lifestyle picture. 'The surprise isn't that it's happening to Ballycotton, the surprise is it's taken so long,' Niamh Hegarty says simply.
