Investors must pay €18k to K Club for service arrears

CORK accountant Finbarr Buckley and former K Club director of golf, Paul Crowe, have been ordered by a judge to pay the Ryder Cup resort almost €18,000 in service charge arrears.

Mr Crowe, also an accountant, of Oyster Circle, Oyster Point, Temple Road, Blackrock, Co Dublin, told the Circuit Civil Court that he and Mr Buckley, a chartered accountant of Lapps Quay, Cork, had bought an apartment in the Ryder Cup Village at the K Club in 2004.

They felt it would be a good personal investment for both of them and had paid out €850,000 for the two-bed apartment. They had also paid a years’ service charge in advance.
