Man pleas for family home in repossession case

An application was made by a bank yesterday to repossess the home of a couple who had managed to put down 20% of the price of their home at the height of the boom — but who later fell into arrears because the man lost his job.

They were in court yesterday where the man made emotional pleas to give them “just six months more” in the house they had put all their savings into.

Their lives were now “back on track” and the woman had got a job just two days ago, while he was beginning work too.
