Sheahans bid to stop receiver interfering with properties

Former Ireland rugby player Frankie Sheahan, and his brother Joseph, have brought a High Court action aimed at stopping a bank-appointed receiver from interfering with a number of properties they own.

Yesterday, the court heard Bank of Ireland appointed Michael McAteer as receiver to 17 residential properties acquired and rented out by the Sheahans and their company.

The Sheahans, who have challenged the validity of Mr McAteer’s appointment, claim the receiver has engaged in behaviour for which he has no lawful authority.
