Man may live in home for now: judge

A JUDGE has ordered that a 73-year-old man forced to sleep in his car after being made homeless by his nephew can remain at the family home — for now.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Donagh McDonagh said that John Mulkerrins, of 62 Marian Avenue, Ennis, can remain at the address until the case between Mr Mulkerrins and his nephew, Paul Cleary, over the home, comes before the court again later this year.

Last Friday week, Judge McDonagh granted an interim injunction ordering that Mr Cleary vacate the house and hand the keys over to Mr Mulkerrins.
