Billionaire construction magnate Luke Comer and his two sons have taken control of more than 300 acres of prime land in Co Kildare from one of Ireland’s most renowned racehorse trainers.

The nine parcels of land, totalling about 340 acres, were until recently owned by Dermot Weld and are close to his legendary training operation on the Curragh.
