Return and tell me why not to jail you, judge tells director

A DIRECTOR of a company that owns a golf course and luxury holiday development in Co Cork has been ordered to appear before the Commercial Court to explain why he should not be jailed over failure to repay a €288,306 debt to a golf design company.

MF Irish Golf Design had earlier this month secured debt attachment orders related to bank accounts held by Kelcar Developments, in an effort to compel repayment of the debt relating to the course at Muskerry East, Blarney.

Last December MF secured an order enforcing an arbitrator’s award for €678,268 for work done on the golf course. After MF later threatened to bring a petition to wind up Kelcar if the monies were not paid, Kelcar paid about €400,000 last April but has failed to pay the remaining amount, which was due in October.
