The Court of Appeal has told solicitor Brian O’Donnell that he and his wife must vacate the Gorse Hill mansion in south Dublin.

Representatives for the Bank of Ireland - which is owed €70m by the O’Donnell's - had argued that he should not be allowed to stay any longer at the Killiney home.

However, the Court has granted a two week stay.

Delivering the 45 page Court of Appeal’ judgment, Ms Justice Mary Finlay-Geoghegan said the matter demonstrates the difficult situation families can find themselves when they give security over their home in relation to borrowings - and said they are a cause of great emotional upset and distress.

However, she dismissed all five matters relating to Mr O’Donnell's appeal of the High Court trespass order, requiring him to leave Gorse Hill.

The court heard Mr O’Donnell and his wife do not own the luxury home, and that they flew in from their home in England to prevent the receiver taking possession.

The court told him he has two weeks to vacate the premises, while Mr O’Donnell says he intends on taking another appeal to the Supreme Court.

Newstalk.com's Richard Chambers told the Pat Kenny Show that the case is not over yet.
