‘My house isn’t worth half its mortgage’ says father facing home repossession

A married father of two yesterday broke down in tears at a repossession court as he fought off attempts by Bank of Ireland to repossess his family home.

The Co Clare musician told county registrar Pat Wallace: “This house is important to me and I am determined to hold on to my house because I have nowhere else to live.”

The case arose at a repossession court in Ennis where 133 applications were before the court.
