The Courtroom, the Bank, and the Family Home. Episode 539

In this episode, Niall talks to property expert Karl Deeter about the controversy surrounding presidential candidate Catherine Connolly, who admits she did represent banks in court — but won’t say whether that included home repossession cases.

Niall asks: why are people so shocked at the idea of a barrister representing a bank? Is it just part of the legal system — or is it morally questionable when families are losing their homes?

And the bigger question — should a family home ever be repossessed, even if they can’t pay the mortgage?
Are repossessions a harsh necessity in a functioning economy… or a failure of compassion in Irish society?

Join Niall and Karl for a frank, fiery conversation about money, morality, and the meaning of home.
