Judge reveals €17,000 overcharging ‘to give heart to others’

A district court judge has likened the tracker mortgage scandal to “bank robberies” and revealed that he, too, was overcharged by his bank to the tune of €17,000.

Judge James McNulty also urged the thousands of other customers affected to get help in seeking justice for what they have suffered.

He said that if banks enjoy “the privilege of a banking licence from this State, then there is a duty on the bank to conduct all its business ethically”.
