The court heard Mr Wallace disputed the contents of the note, but admitted to being emotional in the conversation. The repossession case revolved around a 2004 loan Mr Wallace received in respect of the Clontarf property. The court heard Mr Wallace stated to the bank that his “job and lifestyle was in Dublin”. However, Mr Conroy said there was a period of 13 months where Mr Wallace did not make any repayments. Judge Linnane said the attitude adopted by Mr Wallace had served to increase the legal costs in the case.
