Browne puts home up for sale to pay off debts

BROADCASTER Vincent Browne has put his home in Dalkey, Co Dublin, up for sale to pay off debts he incurred from weekly news magazine Village.

Mr Browne, who bought the six-bedroom Victorian house with his wife, Jean, for £94,000 in 1987, said the couple had no option but to sell.

“It’s far too big now our daughters are both grown, but even so, we’d love to keep it. We’ve no choice, however, but to sell,” he said. “The money’s needed to pay debts from Village magazine, to buy another house and to supply some kind of pension because I don’t have one.”
