I have just discovered that I was in court for an earlier hearing of this case back in April 2016. It was adjourned at that time to July as he was due a tax refund of €70k which would substantially clear the arrears. Bank of Ireland had wanted to proceed at that stage.
He was also talking about a Section 22 adjournment to appoint a PIP. It seemed like a delaying tactic to me at the time. He could have appointed a PIP and got a Protection Order before the court hearing. He had recently appointed Anthony Joyce solicitors to represent him.
He appeared from my notes to have 10 employees.
He was paying €1,200 a month, but the scheduled payment was €1,500 a month.
He had 5 children, the youngest having been born just before Xmas.
According to the most recent report, he is now living with his mother.
