Banks refuse father loan to help bring daughter home

A DEVOTED father who has watched his paralysed daughter languish in hospital for almost 19 months has been refused a loan by several banks that would help get her home.

Pat O’Leary said he is angry at the banks for turning down his €120,000 loan request just months after they were bailed out by the taxpayer.

“They gave billions to developers who can’t pay it back, and we can’t even get this amount to help Catherine,” he said.
