Couple given two weeks to pay €40k in rent arrears

A judge has told a couple they have two weeks in which to pay almost €40,000 in rent arrears, after a court heard the money is currently in a Swiss bank account.

The civil case was heard in Bandon District Court, where landlord Cornelius Reynolds, of Kinsale, Co Cork, was seeking an order that would see him secure vacant possession of his property at 4 Burke’s Lane, St John’s Hill in the town, as well as recovery of the rent arrears.
