Repo orders ‘backed up for months’

A county registrar has revealed that court sittings to address repossession orders in Donegal are already backed up for of months.

A total of 271 cases were yesterday listed for hearing at the registrar’s court in Letterkenny. However, after taking more than two hours just to read through the list, 189 of these cases were adjourned to court sittings in June, July, and September.

The other 82 cases were listed as ready to go ahead. However, registrar Geraldine O’Connor only managed to get through a number of the cases despite sitting after normal sitting hours.
