Last night Mr Gallagher (30) said: "It's a new year, I'm trying to keep my head above water. I had a disastrous year last year."
Mr Gallagher, with an address at Killiney Hill Road, Killiney, Co Dublin, is listed in the latest issue of the All Ireland Gazette as having had a judgment of £133,495 made against him by AIB.
He said this was a loan, and he was unable to keep to the repayment plan. "It will be paid off in the next couple of months," he said.
With an address at Peacock Alley, the Fitzwilliam Hotel, St Stephen's Green, Dublin, Mr Gallagher is also listed as having had a judgment of £15,883 lodged against him by James Nicholson Wine Merchant Ltd; and one of £14,127 by Centurion Card Services Ltd.
Riegal Ltd, trading as Peacock Alley, with an address at 118 Baggot Street, Dublin, is listed as having a judgment for £4,796 made against it by Grants of Ireland (Sales) Ltd. All the judgments were registered in December. Peacock Alley was originally located in Baggot Street.
In November Mr Gerard McGunn, a landlord of one of Mr Gallagher's former restaurants, Lloyds Brasserie, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin, had a judgment for £64,000 registered against Mr Gallagher's home.
During the hearing Mr Gallagher told the High Court he was earning £317 a week, after tax, running his Peacock Alley restaurant.
He said he bought his home about a year ago for £320,000. It had undergone substantial renovation with "probably £500,000" invested in it. There was a mortgage of £306,000, which was several months in arrears, as well as a charge of £150,000 in favour of his former partner, Ms Karla Elliott.
In September Dalkey Furniture had a judgment of £32,427 registered against him.
Mr Gallagher said yesterday he still owned his house and was not planning to sell it.
In December he was questioned by gardai after he sold three paintings through a Blackrock auction room. The owners of the Fitzwilliam Hotel, where Peacock Alley is now, had reported the paintings missing.
"That was a complete misunderstanding," Mr Gallagher said, and gardai now agreed with him on this.
