NAMA receivers seek injunction over land earmarked for school

Summary

In November 2016 the High Court heard a case brought by insolvency practitioners Jim Hamilton and David O'Connor, acting as receivers for Nama, against David and Patrick Maughan. The dispute concerns a greenfield site on Monasterevin Road, Portarlington, Co. Laois, which has been earmarked for a new primary school. The receivers claim the Maughans are residing on the property without entitlement and are seeking injunctions that require the Maughans to vacate the site, remove all their property, and prevent any trespassing by them or anyone with notice of the action. The Maughans attended the hearing without legal representation, stating they had only recently been served with documents and had not had time to secure a lawyer. They denied that their mobile homes were on the greenfield site, asserting they were on the nearby road, and said they had been living on the site since March 2015.
