Last week, Brian O'Donell physically tossed the keys of Gorse Hill at Bank of Ireland Chief Executive Richie Boucher at the institutions's AGM.
The man at the centre of one of the most extended legal battles the country has ever seen has never been far from the headlines since he returned with his wife Mary Patricia to the mansion from their permanent home in the UK at the beginning of March.
Brian O'Donnell joined Pat Kenny this morning along with Jerry Beades from the new Irish Land League to discuss the case.
During his interview this morning, Mr O'Donnell detailed how he had set his business up in Ireland and that although he did owe money to Bank of Ireland, he tried to meet Richie Boucher on several occasions but the Bank of Ireland CEO wouldn't hold a meeting with him.
Along with Jerry Beades, the pair also discussed the extended legal battle that Mr O'Donnell and his family undertook in the battle for the mansion.
He also discussed the bankruptcy laws here and whether he would walk away from the case:"When the bankruptcy began, this whole saga, it was 12 years in Ireland which was the most penal bankruptcy regime in the world.
"The problem is that the banks have to consent to allow you out of bankruptcy.
"If you have a scenario like we have, what can you do?
"We're not looking for sympathy but we would like to be able to try to clarify our position. Just to repeat, my wife and I do not own Gorse Hill.
"We would love to get back to business, love to get back to doing what we want to do but we find ourselves locked in a position.
"We can't walk away because the bank won't let us walk away."
He finished by discussing the fact that he's bringing the case to Europe: "Vico Ltd, which owns the building, has no borrowings with the Bank of Ireland.
"There is not valid title to the Bank of Ireland to do what it is has done.
"We know that this could take another five years until we get justice. We're in this for the long haul. We don't like being bullied."
