Mother of five concedes to repossession order in two months

A mother of five “sports-mad” boys said that she does not know how she will tell them that they are going to lose their home.

The “homemaker” was speaking outside the repossession court in Ennis, where she agreed that Clare registrar Patrick Wallace could make a repossession order on the family home in two months’ time.

The woman — along with her estranged husband — owe AIB subsidiary Haven Mortgages Ltd €486,000, and are €172,000 in arrears.
