"The family of the late Joe Grogan have placed a legal freeze on the administration of his multi-­million-euro estate as a bitter dispute with his widow rages on."

A legal freeze prevents administration of Joe Grogan's multi‑million‑euro estate as a bitter dispute with his widow continues. The solicitor for the late 75‑year‑old's cousins raised questions about the relationship with widow Lisa Flaherty (51) during the inquest into his July death. The coroner rejected the solicitor's suggestion that a verdict of unlawful killing could be considered. Lisa Flaherty is due to host the 2025 National Ploughing Championships on the late husband's farm at Screggan, Tullamore. The validity of the marriage, conducted the day before his death, was central to the contentious inquest. The family dispute has escalated to competing legal claims over succession and administration of assets.
