"I urge others to never give up."
A father from Waterford has won a court case after his house was threatened to be taken away from him.
The man, who wished not to be named, lost his courier job several years ago, and he and his wife struggled to keep up with the mortgage payments on just her salary alone.
He is now back working in full-time employment, and has urged people to never give up fighting for their family, after a judge ruled that he could keep his home.
Speaking to independent.ie, he said: "My sporting background gave me the inner strength to keep fighting for our home, and I know not everyone has that, but I urge others to never give up.
"Through this process, people can get crushed mentally, but we want to be the people to inspire others to now go on with their fight."
In the court case, the judge dismissed a fund's objection to their insolvency arrangements.
