A Dublin man, who claims he faces the “bitter winter months” homeless on the city streets, is to ask a judge to pay him out money from a €1.5m trust fund partly left to him by his late mother.

Jim Nugent, who famously gave a “dig-out” to former taoiseach Bertie Ahern, has had the €1.3m D4 apartment at Haseldene, Ballsbridge, handed back to a bank.
