Sharp fall in house repossessions

THERE has been a dramatic decrease in the number of repossessions orders granted in the Dublin High Court over the last month.

Yesterday Judge Brian McGovern presided over a sitting of the High Court where only two repossession orders were granted.

The previous week saw four repossession orders granted to mortgage providers, compared with the average over the last year of the High Court granting more than 10 repossession orders at each of its weekly Chancery Summons sittings.
