Dublin Solicitor Has Until 4pm To Leave Home

Dublin solicitor has until 4pm to leave home

South Dublin solicitor Brian O'Donnell has until 4 o'clock to leave his home by order of the High Court. The court yesterday rejected a bid by his children to stop the family's Killiney house from being repossessed. Representatives of the receivers pinned notices of trespass on the house's gates last night - but these have since been taken inside to Mr O'Donnell. Brian O'Donnell and his wife Mary Patricia owe Bank of Ireland over 70 million euro - and the High Court yesterday blocked their children's bid to prevent receivers taking possession of the Gorse Hill house on Killiney's Vico Road. Mr O'Donnell has been given a new deadline of four o'clock this afternoon to comply - but it's understood he's told supporters that he has no intention of leaving. Representatives of the receivers last night pinned a notice of trespass on the gates of the property. Members of the media and the new Land League will both gather outside those gates - as that deadline draws nearer.

  • Low Awareness of RSV Risks Among Older Adults in Wexford

    A recent study has revealed that awareness of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is alarmingly low among older adults and their carers in Wexford and across Ireland. Despite RSV being a significant cause of hospitalisations, particularly for those aged 65 and over, only 18% of people report knowing much about the virus. The study, commissioned by Pfizer and conducted by Ipsos B&A, shows that 41% of respondents have never heard of RSV or only recognize the name.
