Bank seeks to repossess flat from fugitive solicitor

Legal moves are under way in the High Court by a bank to secure the repossession of an apartment in Dublin which the bank says is owned by fugitive solicitor Michael Lynn.

The apartment, in the “William Bligh” section of the Gasworks apartments in Barrow St, has been sub-divided into two units, one of which is currently occupied by a woman and her family.

The woman has told the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), which is seeking possession, that the agent she rented the property from had told her it is owned by Mr Lynn and another man.
