Keith Farry BL, representing Mr Carrig’s personal insolvency practioner Eugene McDarby told the court the arrangement will last six months and will return Mr Carrig to solvency.

Counsel said none of Mr Carrig’s creditors had voted to accept or reject the proposed DSA, so there was nothing to prevent its approval. Mr Hoban, who is currently unemployed and has no income source, owed amounts to Cabot Finance, Start Mortgages, Pepper Finance Corporation and Permanent TSB, counsel said.Counsel said 81 per cent of Mr Hoban’s creditors voted to accept the arrangement, with only Pepper voting against.

Mr Farry, for Mr Desmond’s insolvency practitioner John McCormack, said that the applicant got into financial difficulties over repayments on loans after he spent 12 months out of work.
