U2 star tries to stop sale of NY pad

U2 STAR Adam Clayton wants a New York court to stop his former personal assistant from attempting to sell an apartment in the city which she bought for $465,000 (€360,000) in 2007, the High Court heard yesterday.
The move arises out of earlier proceedings here by the musician, in which he obtained an order freezing the assets of Carol Hawkins over allegations she had misappropriated considerable sums of the bassist's money to acquire a number of assets including the apartment.
Ms Hawkins, of Crannagh Road, Dublin 14, was ordered by the High Court in December not to reduce her assets below €1.8m. The order was continued in January until further notice.
The court yesterday heard her main asset was the apartment she bought in 2007 without a mortgage. On March 22, the management company of the apartment complex had an €11,000 charge, or lien, on it over unpaid service charges.
The court heard that as a result of this Mr Clayton was now going to apply in New York for an order freezing the apartment or have the US equivalent of our "lawsuit pending" (lis pendens) notice attached to the property, notifying potential purchasers of a legal dispute.
The December injunction required that if proceedings were to be taken in another jurisdiction, permission of the High Court should be obtained first, the court was told.
John Noonan, counsel for Ms Hawkins, objected and said Ms Hawkins wanted to sell the apartment and the proceeds could then be held by a receiver pending a further court order here. Mr Justice Roderick Murphy gave a two-week adjournment and ordered that papers be exchanged between the sides.

Satellite of love as U2 sing from New York
By Ken Sweeney
Friday May 07 2010
"CALLING from New York on the Ryan Line still open." U2 singer Bono echoed Gerry Ryan's famous radio signature as he launched into a special version of his friend's favourite song, his band's classic anthem 'With Or Without You'.
The supergroup was unable to attend the star-studded ceremony yesterday, but instead hooked up live via satellite from New York to make its own special contribution.
"Gerry, you shone like a star in the summer night. You'll be alright, flying high, flying so high," Bono sang.
As the song concluded at the end of the service, he added: "Goodbye Gerry, see you down the road."
Boyband Westlife earlier performed an acapella version of their hit 'You Raise Me Up' in the small Clontarf church, located in the suburb where the broadcaster grew up and lived with his own family.
Dressed in matching black suits with white shirts and black ties, the group flew back to Ireland from the UK especially to perform at the funeral.
They almost didn't make it.
Grounded
It was feared the band would be grounded by the volcanic ash cloud which had brought chaos to Irish airports again this week.
However, the opening of Irish air space at 4am got them home just in time.
The String Quartet from the National Symphony Orchestra and the Dublin Gospel Choir also performed at the funeral.
Mourners included such prominent figures in the Irish music business as Sharon Corr, pop manager Louis Walsh and Boyzone's Keith Duffy.
