Receiver tells court of intimidation in Killarney

A receiver says he has been subjected to a campaign of intimidation and threats against him as he tried to take over a number of commercial properties in Kilkenny.

The properties in High St and Key Court were put up as collateral by four men for €2.3m loans to them by Bank of Ireland which were allegedly in default.

KPMG accountant and insolvency practitioner Andrew O’Leary was appointed receiver in September and says that, in the last two weeks, there have been a number of incidents, including a break-in at a property on November 25.
