Bank asks High Court to appoint receiver over contents, fixtures, and fittings of well-known Galway

Bank of Scotland today asked Mr Justice Tony Hunt in the High Court to appoint a receiver over the contents, fixtures and fittings of the well-known Forster Court Hotel, which employs 34 people and is just off Eyre Square, in Galway

The bank claimed that sale of the contents would help the receiver, already appointed over the hotel itself, realise the maximum value of the hotel which he intended to sell and which was valued at €2.75m.
