Banks told to give leeway on arrears
The warning from Judge Elizabeth Dunne came at a Dublin High Court session where she reluctantly granted repossession orders on seven properties, among them two family homes.
Adjourning one case involving Bank Of Ireland and a couple who had stated they were in severe financial difficultly but were attempting some repayments, Judge Dunne said: “I don’t like to hear these Catch 22 situations when a person is being up front with the bank and they’re not facilitated.”
