Solicitor’s adult children told to leave luxury home

The adult children of solicitor Brian O’Donnell have been told by the Supreme Court they must leave their Co Dublin luxury home next month so it may be taken over by a bank-appointed receiver.

The Supreme Court last December rejected the appeal by Blaise, Blake, Bruce, and Alexandra O’Donnell against a High Court order clearing the way for Bank of Ireland to take possession of the house at Gorse Hill, Vico Rd, Killiney.

At that stage, the bank told the court it wanted vacant possession by February 1 but, when the case was back before the court yesterday to deal with costs and final orders, the court was told three of the children remained there.
