O’Driscoll must pay €2,000 to restore water

Irish rugby captain Brian O’Driscoll and several other Wexford holiday-home owners should have water restored to their properties once they have paid €2,000 each to a management company they are in dispute with, a judge has ruled.

Mr O’Driscoll is among the owners of 32 houses which are part of the Seafield Demesne Hotel and Golf development in Ballymoney, where there has been a dispute with Seafield Demesne Management Ltd over the amount of the annual service charge.

Only those used as holiday homes, and not those permanently occupied, had their water cut off last March, the High Court heard.
