Pensioner slept in car after nephew made him homeless

A 73-YEAR-OLD Ennis pensioner made homeless by his nephew in January was last night back in the family home.

This followed Judge Donagh McDonagh yesterday ordering Paul Cleary at Ennis Circuit Court to vacate 62 Marian Avenue, Ennis and hand the keys back to his uncle, John Mulkerrins Jnr, forthwith.

Since being made homeless in January after Mr Cleary locked him out and changed the locks, Mr Mulkerrins — who suffers from a heart condition and diabetes — has been sleeping in a car and local B&B.
