Strokestown farm remains occupied in defiance of orders, High Court hears

The High Court in Dublin has heard that a farm at Falsk, Strokestown in County Roscommon remains occupied in breach of court orders granted to KBC Bank. The property has been at the centre of protracted legal proceedings involving three siblings—Anthony, David, and Geraldine McGann—and the financial institution, which secured a possession order several years ago following a €431,000 debt. Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds had issued a deadline of 6pm on Sunday, 1 November for all occupants to vacate, warning that those remaining could face imprisonment for contempt of court. When the matter was mentioned before the court on Tuesday, the judge was informed the farm remained occupied by several individuals, preventing KBC from taking possession. Ms Justice Reynolds indicated her willingness to hear the bank's application to commit those currently on the property for contempt. The matter will be considered by the court on Friday.
