Arthur O'Neill avoids jail for contempt in Wexford property case

Arthur O'Neill avoided jail for contempt at the High Court on 16 July 2019 after undertaking to comply with orders concerning a property at Askinvillar Upper, Kiltealy, Enniscorthy, County Wexford.

The orders restrain him from entering or interfering with the property, while the receiver’s claims that he breached them remain allegations. O’Neill had raised concerns about purported leases, but the judge said those issues were separate from the contempt proceedings.

Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds adjourned the matter to Friday to assess whether the orders were being complied with.
