Esther Kirwan’s High Court personal insolvency arrangement, allowing mortgage payments until age 90, was reported on 14 May 2021.

The Co Tipperary shop assistant can remain in her home while paying reduced mortgage instalments for 35 years.

Mr Justice Mark Sanfey approved the arrangement after the Circuit Court had rejected it over possible insolvency at the term’s end.

Her creditors, including Start Mortgages, supported the deal, which could offer similar options to thousands with long-term mortgage arrears.
