Musician Corr owes €6.5m over property deals

Musician Jim Corr, who estimates he owes €6.5m arising from property dealings in Ireland, Britain, and Spain, is facing a court examination of his means.

Mr Corr has been ordered to attend the Commercial Court next month in an effort by ACC Bank to secure payment of €778,000 outstanding from a €1.4m judgment.

The bank obtained judgment in Feb 2011 against Mr Corr and Liam Marks, The Coach House, Sandymount, Blackrock, Dundalk, Co Louth, over an unpaid loan advanced in 2004 to buy 94 acres at Goresbridge, Co Kilkenny. Both consented to judgment.
