Parents working 180 hours a week lose family home

A MOTHER and father gave up the fight for their family home yesterday, saying they could not make enough as taxi drivers to meet their rising mortgage payments.

The north Dublin couple were among 14 cases where homes and properties were repossessed at the High Court.

The parents, who have twins aged 9 and another child aged 13, stood before Judge Brian McGovern explaining why they could no longer meet their mortgage payments.
