Limerick residents told they do not own driveways

Little did they realise when they set up a mortgage for their €270k three-bed semi seven years ago that they could be heading for a legal battle for the very driveways to their homes.

Yet that’s the situation that Ariri Alwi and his wife — along with more than 50 other families — who have been told they aren’t the owners of what they thought were their own driveways.

Alwi is one of the residents at Kilteragh, Dooradoyle who received letters from the land registry office along with folio maps informing him that an error took place in the registration of their title deeds.
