Businessman and race horse trainer John Mulhern has died.
The 69-year-old, who was married to Eimear Mulhern, daughter of the late Taoiseach Charles Haughey, passed away at the Mater Private hosptial in Dublin this morning.
The former head of the Findus food operation in Ireland also previously ran the Meadow Court stud in Kildare.
He had been named in the Anbacher investigation into bogus non-resident accounts and it was confirmed only last Friday that Mr. Mulhern had made a €1.4m settlement with the Revenue Commissioners.
