A dispute over the Barne Estate was portrayed by witnesses as a 'war' between two wealthy, powerful men. Bloodstock billionaire John Magnier (77) stood on one side. His Coolmore Stud, one of the world's largest thoroughbred horse breeding operations, has been acquiring prime farmland in Co Tipperary for years. Magnier missed out on a property he coveted.
