AIB has secured more than €70,000 in judgments against borrowers in the last 12 months – with the latest repayment order being made against a privately owned Fermoy-based healthcare services company.

The latest edition of debt monitoring publication, Stubbs Gazette lists a total of 28 judgments against a variety of consumers, professionals and companies in Co Cork.

Joint company directors, Eugene (Gene) Barry and Margo Walsh – with a home address in Douglas – of Fermoy-based healthcare product sales firm, Allied Mobility Ireland Ltd (which was formerly known as Allied Healthcare Services) were ordered, on December 14, to repay loans amounting to €46,521 to AIB.
