Businessman Bernard Rocca and his wife, Theresa, may avoid losing their €1m Castleknock, Dublin, home which a vulture fund claims it is entitled to sell off against Bernard’s personal business debts of up to €2m.

Businessman Bernard Rocca and his wife, Theresa, face losing their €1 million Castleknock, Dublin home despite having the money in a legal account to clear off a mortgage debt of €131,000 and a second mortgage debt of 10 cent, a court heard today.

A couple who discovered an error in Bank of Scotland’s sale of their €170,000 mortgage to US-owned vulture fund Tanager Limited, smiled as they left court yesterday after a judge threw out Tanager’s bid to take back their home.
