Barrister Battles To Halt Sale of Repossessed Naas Home Amid Debt Dispute

Despite bailiffs repossessing the house in July, Eugenie Houston re-entered and continues to live there.

Barrister Eugenie Houston, who regained possession of her Naas home after bailiffs seized it earlier this year, plans to challenge its sale in court.

Houston told the High Court she would seek an urgent injunction to block the sale but was denied permission to expedite the application.

Mr Justice Liam Kennedy, according to the Irish Independent, ruled the case would likely be heard in the new year, rejecting her short-notice request as a “collateral attack” on prior rulings.

The dispute stems from debts owed to solicitor Wendy Doyle, who holds 11 judgment mortgages on the property due to debts owed to her by Houston.

Despite bailiffs repossessing the house in July, Houston re-entered and continues to live there.

The ongoing dispute stems from a defamation case Houston filed in 2014, which was settled in 2017 with Houston ordered to pay Doyle’s legal costs of nearly €59,000.
