"Where is the bank official ... Is he going to be evicted from his house?"; High Court action against businessman struck out

The Master of the High Court has struck out a €19m claim for judgment against a businessman saying the bank official who "got the bonus for this dodgy transaction" would not end up being evicted from his home.

Edmund Honohan, who as Master deals with a range of administrative matters relating to cases on their way to trial, refused to allow a NAMA company to proceed with its application for judgment against John Brennan arising out of various loans and overdrafts provided by AIB between February 2001 and December 2007 for commercial dealings.
