Court grants 11 home repossessions

During four hours in court, Clare registrar Pat Wallace dealt with 171 applications for repossession from financial institutions and made the 11 repossession orders — more than double the previous high of five granted at the repossession court in Ennis.
There were eight gardaí in the courtroom and its environs to prevent a repeat of the chaotic scenes that occurred in Limerick last week where Mr Wallace was forced to abandon the repossession court there.
