Couple fight receiver’s appointment over rent

A couple whose eviction from their Killiney home last year went viral on YouTube have brought an appeal against a court order appointing a receiver over rents from five apartments they own.

Retired accountant Brendan Kelly and his wife Asta Kelly were videoed last April being evicted from their home at St Matthias Wood, Killiney, over debts owed to the now liquidated Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.

They were also landlords to five apartments at The Waterside, Charlotte Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, on which €30,000 in management fees is now allegedly outstanding.
