Receivers secure injunction over alleged occupation by members of Travelling Community
Summary
A receiver appointed by NAMA, Aidan Murphy, secured a temporary High Court injunction to stop members of the Travelling Community from trespassing on the Church Hill housing estate in Tullamore, Co Offaly. The injunction was sought because up to 13 caravans were located on the estate, with the receiver claiming they had no right to be there and had refused to leave. The receiver also alleged that the estate had been damaged, residents complained of anti‑social behaviour, rubbish dumping, and an explosion had been reported. The insurers of the estate were withdrawing cover due to the alleged ongoing trespass, and the insurance would expire on Monday, leaving any damage from that date onward uncovered. The injunction, granted ex‑parte by Mr Justice Paul McDermott, prohibits 16 individuals allegedly on the site and anyone with notice of the order from trespassing or interfering with the receiver and his agents.
