Peter McVerry Trust given week to complete purchase of Killarney greenfield site

A booking deposit of €10,000 had been paid over by the homeless charity, but the remainder of the money is outstanding now by six months, the Circuit Civil Court in Killarney heard.

The Peter McVerry Trust has been ordered to complete the purchase of a €300,000 greenfield site in Killarney town centre and has been given one week to do so.

The site, at Fleming's Lane, High Street, has planning permission for a sheltered facility for children and young people.
