Priory Hall developer to contest application to extend bankruptcy
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 27 July 2015, Thomas McFeely, a 67‑year‑old developer of Priory Hall, contested an application by the official administrator, Mr Chris Lehane, to extend his bankruptcy by five years. McFeely had been declared bankrupt in Ireland in July 2012, with the bankruptcy set to expire on 30 July 2015. Lehane argued that McFeely had failed to disclose all assets and had not cooperated, and sought an order preventing McFeely's discharge until the extension motion was heard. McFeely's lawyers requested an early hearing, but the judge, Justice Caroline Costello, adjourned the matter to October, refusing a hearing in August or September while the court was in recess. The case remains pending, with the court yet to decide on the extension request. The article does not report any further developments.
