After granting the bank possession of Mr Wallace’s Clontarf home, the judge was asked for a three months stay on the order. Clarifying in a sworn statement what he believed he had said to Mr O’Carroll, Mr Wallace conceded he had “become emotive” during the conversation. Judge Linnane had heard that Mr Wallace, when refused a loan for the Temple Bar apartment, had become extremely irate and upset. The judge said it was obvious that in his phon call to the bank Mr Wallace had become agitated. She awarded costs against Mr Wallace saying he had contributed to the legal bill by refusing to co-operate with the bank .
