Judge tells separated couple to "face the music" over properties in receivership
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 26 January 2017, Ms Justice Carmel Stewart addressed Jimmy Quinn and his estranged wife Edel Burke, who own two mortgaged properties in Galway that have had no repayments since 2008. The judge confirmed that Mr Simon Coyle of Mazars had been validly appointed as receiver over the properties at Cuirt Seoige, Grelaishtown Townparks, and Ballypoint, Salthill. She granted injunctions preventing the couple from residing in, entering, renting out, or interfering with the sale of the properties, and from obstructing the receiver's duties. Ms Burke, who still lives at Cuirt Seoige, and Mr Quinn, who run an equine business, argued the receiver's appointment was invalid, but their claim was dismissed. The judge urged the couple to confront the situation, negotiate with the bank, and noted she would place an eight‑week stay on the orders to allow an arrangement to be reached. If no agreement is made, the orders will take effect.
