Im not so sure TP. The ownership of the site does not seem to be in dispute, all parties aggreed that Mr. O’G was the owner hence the CPO.

There is still a dispute over the ownership of the site – I’m not sure of the details, but apparently DCC have said that Patrick Darley’s title was “deficient”, and this is one of the reasons they never bought it. Presumably the same applies to O’Gara’s title, but it would probably have to go to court before this is resolved.

ABP’s reference to “reputed owner” is not a snide comment at O’Gara’s expense, it’s just recognising that the question of ownership is still contested. I don’t think it’s ABP’s role to decide on this, so “owner or reputed owner” is appropriate hedging.
