Throughout the country, ordered were granted in district and circuit courts for the possession of 290 homes from January to June.
48 orders were granted in Dublin, which was closely followed by Meath, where banks got the go-ahead to repossess 40 homes.
There were 30 granted in Cork, 20 in Kildare and 15 in Offaly.
The only county along with Sligo were banks didn’t get permission to possess homes was Kilkenny.
