Judge Linnane had heard that 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 phone call to the bank Wallace had become agitated. She said Mr Wallace had made it quite crystal clear he would be taken out of the property in a box. She said the Clontarf property was now in negative equity. She felt the two main points put forward by Mr Wallace’s legal team had no merit.
