Console’s interim CEO David Hall has been given permission to gain access to a storage unit that was paid for under the name of the charity’s founder Paul Kelly.

Mortgage debt campaigner and CEO of private ambulance firm Life Line Ambulance, David Hall, yesterday partially blamed the HSE for his company recording losses of €436,412 in 2014, though he said the business returned to profit last year.

A group representing mortgage holders has claimed the Government will simply be “playing about with the edges” of Ireland’s repossession and housing crises if it decides to introduce a property tax cap on homes.

By-election candidate David Hall has admitted he made a "completely inappropriate and embarrassing" comment after allegations emerged of a racist remark while playing cards with friends.
