Date Published: 02-Jun-2011
A Galway couple who bought a house in Dublin as an investment, have decided to give it back to the building society.
Judge Jacqueline Linnane heard that Michael and Sally Gannon, of Rusheen East, Clonbur had agreed that Irish Nationwide Building Society be allowed to re-possess the property.
The Circuit Civil Court was told that the Gannons had bought 192, Collinswood, Collins Avenue, Dublin, as an investment and that their Galway home had been used as collateral to obtain the mortgage.
The website breakingnews.ie reports Judge Linnane was told the couple was not disputing the amount of arrears or challenging the validity of the mortgage but would not have agreed to security of purchase of the Dublin house extending to their home.
Today’s court order applied only to the Dublin property and no direction was made as to the couple’s Galway home.
