Sheahan faces repossession on properties

Former Irish rugby star Frankie Sheahan and his brother could face bank repossession on a number of properties after a High Court judge yesterday found in favour of the bank parties in a legal dispute over the alleged non-payment of loans.

Ms Justice O’Malley said the proceedings have a somewhat complex history but all of the cases related to borrowings by Joseph Sheahan and his brother Frank Sheahan Jr.

The loans in question, the judge said, were offered between 2005 and 2008 and nearly all related to buy-to-let properties with another loan relating to the purchase of a property in 2006.
