Couple hope HSE payout will save home

It is hoped that the successful outcome of a High Court action by the Co Limerick parents of a child against the HSE will save the family home from repossession by a bank.

Solicitor John Power told a home repossession hearing before Limerick county registrar Pat Wallace that he was seeking an adjournment of the application for the house being sought by Bank of Ireland.

Mr Power was representing a couple whose mortgage had an outstanding debt of €174,761, of which just over €66,000 is the amount of arrears.
