Danske Bank pursues ‘Apprentice’ star Cullen for more than €8.2m

Ireland’s best-known car dealer, Bill Cullen, is being pursued by Danske Bank for more than €8.2m in unpaid loans.

The bank applied to Mr Justice Peter Kelly at the Commercial Court yesterday for leave to serve notice of the proceedings on Mr Cullen at his home at Osberstown House, Sallins, Co Kildare, after saying it had experienced difficulties serving the legal documents on him personally.

Counsel for the bank, Rossa Fanning BL, said about four efforts to effect personal service had proven unsuccessful and he was seeking an order for substituted service.
