The billionaire owner of yachts and jets has longstanding ties to Kildare through his equestrian activities.

The owner of Shergar, the Derby-winning racehorse stolen from a stud farm in Kildare in 1983, has died.

The Aga Khan, leader of the Ismaili Muslims and head of a major development aid foundation, died yesterday in Lisbon at the age of 88.

He was the founder and president of the Aga Khan Development Network, which employs 96,000 people and finances development programmes mainly in Asia and Africa.
