Onus on defendants to ensure all donated property is removed from Apollo House, judge says

Summary

In a High Court hearing on 17 January 2017, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan confirmed that the occupation of Apollo House had ended when the last resident left the building a few hours after the court's last appearance. The judge noted that the Home Sweet Home coalition had donated furniture and beds to the occupants, and that efforts were underway to remove these items. Solicitor Gary Daly, representing Glen Hansard, Brendan Ogle, Aisling Hedderman and Carrie Hennessy, said the receivers were seeking indemnity for any claims arising from the occupation, citing a query about a donated boiler. Mr Justice Gilligan adjourned the case for two weeks to allow the building to be vacated and ordered the defendants to ensure all donated property was removed, with the building returned to its pre‑occupation state. The injunction, originally granted in December, had been extended to 11 January, after which all residents departed.
