A true self-made man, Pascal Vincent Doyle was a major player in Irish high society once upon a time, counting former taoiseach Charles Haughey as one of his closest confidantes.

By the time of his death in 1988, PV Doyle was the multi-millionaire owner of an international portfolio of no fewer than 33 hotels.

A tough act to follow indeed, and so it proved for those who took up the mantle of his business empire – his children.

And so, the Doyle family feud was born; pitting sibling against sibling in a brutal battle for Succession-esque supremacy.

On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined in studio by Sunday Independent journalist Liam Collins – who had his own interesting run-in with PV Doyle – to discuss a most bitter breakdown.
