Judge delays eviction order on mother of four

A High Court judge has given a mother of four on social welfare another week before deciding if a bank should be allowed seize her €700,000 property.

High Court President Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns said he was adjourning the matter for a week to give Mary White and Bank of Ireland Mortgage Bank an opportunity of filing further legal documents.

Judge Kearns last week blocked the Dublin City Sheriff, James C Barry, from evicting Ms White and her family from 190 Upper Rathmines Road, Dublin. He had asked Ms White to file an affidavit explaining why she thought he should further restrain the eviction.
