About this listen
There is a battle-royal underway at the High Court in Dublin. Two of Ireland’s wealthiest men are going head-to-head over a historic estate—and the outcome could reshape the Munster land market.
On Newstalk Daily, Ciara Doherty is joined by Niall Sargent, current affairs correspondent with The Currency, to unpack the background to the legal showdown between racing tycoon John Magnier and multi-millionaire developer Maurice Regan.
In this podcast, we explore the rise to fame and wealth of Magnier and Regan, the vast land, bloodstock and business empires they’ve built, and the disputed €22.5 million sale of the Barne Estate in Clonmel, county Tipperary. The interview also looks at how handshake deals, offshore trusts and court injunctions are shaping the case—and examines the growing pressure on local communities as deep-pocketed buyers drive up land prices.
A story of power, legacy, rural Ireland —and a rising tide of land consolidation.
