House co-owned by homeless man repossessed

A HOUSE jointly owned by a man who is now homeless and receiving treatment for alcohol addiction was repossessed by a bank in the High Court yesterday.

The property in Cork was one of 13 in which orders for repossession were granted yesterday.

In the case the court was told that the property was not a family home and the last payment made to the lender, ACC Bank, had been in December 2006.
