Euromillions jackpot winner Dolores McNamara is suing a man over a road crash involving her Mercedes Benz and a Ford van.

And the 56-year-old, who scooped €115million in 2005, will have to go to a pub on Tuesday where her civil claim against the other driver will be heard.

The Limerick woman is due to pursue her case against William Butler of Ballyhea in Charleville, Co Cork, in Killaloe District Court in Co Clare.

It sits at the Brian Boru On The Hill pub in nearby Ballina.

The shutters will be pulled down on the bar and the disco lights located over Judge Patrick Durcan’s desk will be switched off in the function room where the mother of six will appear.

No evidence has yet been heard in the case that relates to a crash at Ogonnelloe in east Clare in October 2015.

It is not known the level of damages being sought by Ms McNamara who, if the case goes to trial, will be expected to give a sworn account of the crash.

The maximum amount of damages that can be claimed in the district court is €15,000.

In January 2014, the staging of Killaloe District Court in the Ballina pub made headlines around the world when a niece of designer Ralph Lauren, Jenny Lauren, appeared in relation to an air rage incident.

The location for Ms Lauren’s hearing sparked comment in the New York Post, The Daily Telegraph, ABC News, CNN and the Sydney Morning Herald.

In the aftermath the Courts Service confirmed the pub would form

part of a strategic review of venues and Ms McNamara’s scheduled appearance will again bring the issue into focus.

The Sunday Times Rich List recently put a value of €121million on Ms McNamara’s wealth, ranking the former part-time cleaner the 117th richest person in the country.

Her solicitor David Scott did not return a call for comment on Monday.
