Brian O'Donnell and Mary Patricia O'Donnell secured an extra day from the Court of Appeal, reported on 20 March 2015, to challenge an order requiring them to leave Gorse Hill in Killiney.

The appeal concerns a High Court trespass order obtained by Bank of Ireland and receiver Tom Kavanagh, who sought possession of the mansion for sale against property-loan debts.

Mr O'Donnell argued that the couple had a contractual right to live at the property, while the bank disputed his account of the underlying arrangements.

The challenge was expected to continue when the court resumed on 20 March 2015.
