Strokestown eviction family face jail as bank takes action
Summary
KBC bank has moved to seek committal orders against three siblings from near Strokestown, County Roscommon, over alleged non-compliance with a High Court direction to vacate their family farm. The High Court heard on Friday that Michael Anthony, David and Geraldine McGann have not left the property at Falsk despite an injunction granted in October requiring them to vacate by November 12th. Justice Leonie Reynolds adjourned the matter to early the following week after being informed that related proceedings concerning the removal of legal representation for David and Geraldine McGann are pending. The case stems from a December 2018 eviction executed following a possession order obtained by KBC years earlier. The borrower had fallen into arrears on a loan of approximately €431,000, with the last repayment recorded in February 2014. The McGanns have remained on the property since returning after that eviction.
