More than 1,300 home repossession cases came before the courts in just 10 days this month.
The Sunday Independent reports that between July 6th and 16th, a flood of repossession cases were heard around the country.
The highest numbers of cases -131- took place in Letterkenny, Donegal while the second highest number -110 - were heard in Wicklow.
The figures coincide with preliminary findings from a survey by the Irish Mortgage Holders' Organisation on the mental impact of debt on homeowners - some with imminent plans to end their own life as they battled mortgage arrears.
