Occupation of Apollo House ends
Summary
The High Court heard that the occupation of Apollo House in Dublin City Centre has ended and all occupants have left. Michael Lynn SC, representing the Home Sweet Home Coalition, informed Justice Paul Gilligan that the building is now vacated, though removal of donated furniture and property will take additional time. Rossa Fanning SC, speaking for the Nama‑appointed receivers who own the property, welcomed the development but noted that possession had not yet been re‑established and that the receivers would assist in an orderly wind‑down. The court adjourned the matter to 2 pm on Thursday for an update on the progress. The announcement follows the court's earlier dismissal of an application by organisers seeking an extra week to remain, and a prior injunction that required residents to leave by noon Wednesday.
