A receiver was granted permission to serve short notice of High Court proceedings against alleged trespassers at the N5 Business Park in Moneen, Castlebar. The proceedings were reported on 15 February 2018.

Receiver Ken Fennell seeks orders directing the alleged trespassers to leave. He claims caravans have been at the site intermittently since his appointment, and efforts to resolve the matter peacefully have failed.

His counsel, Brian Conroy, alleged damage from an illegally accessed water main and burning rubbish. Counsel also said some alleged trespassers had demanded €10,000 per caravan to leave.

Ms Justice Caroline Costello granted permission to serve short notice on an ex-parte basis and returned the matter to the following week. The report did not describe a final ruling on the allegations.
