A couple who were embroiled in a bitter divorce row over a holiday home in County Galway have settled their case.
Michael and Margie Hanley both wanted to keep the house they owned in the remote Irish village of Corr na Móna, and spent a total of £800,000 on the High Court proceedings. When it was suggested that she live elsewhere in Corr na Móna, or that the couple share the house, Mrs Hanley told Mr Justice Holman that “the village isn’t big enough for both of us”.
It has now been agreed that Mrs Hanley will keep the house. The couple will divide cash and assets totalling between £10 million and £14 million.
Mr Justice Holman told the couple that he was “very, very glad” that agreement had been reached.
