'Impressive lady' has right of residence regardless of banks' €779k judgment against son, judge rules

A 93-year-old woman is "perfectly entitled" to continue residing at her Co Clare family home regardless of a judgment for €779,000 against her son who owns the property, the High Court has ruled.

Ms Justice Teresa Pilkington said any failure to properly provide for Eithne Ryan's right to support and maintenance "lies squarely" with her son Bryan Ryan who owns the house and attached 135 acre farm over which there is a debt of €1.4m to Bank of Ireland (BoI).
