Receivers have been reappointed to North Galway-native developer, Ray Grehan’s assets, by the National Asset Management Agency.
Grehan had been given until ‘close of business’ yesterday to repay over 650 million euro to the agency.
The receivers were appointed, after a meeting between NAMA and its advisors, when Ray Grehan failed to meet the deadline.
Ray Grehan originally comes from Kiltullagh, Kilkerrin and set up Glenkerrin homes with his brother Danny.
Grehan’s major interests include the Glenroyal Hotel in Maynooth and the former site of the UCD Veterinary College in Ballsbridge.
Business journalist Ian Guider says the agency has little hope of recovering the full amount it’s owed
