Apollo House proceedings formally end
Summary
In February 2017 the High Court formally ended proceedings over the occupation of Apollo House in Dublin City Centre. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan was told by Stephen Dowling Bl, the receivers, that all remaining items of property, including furniture and beds that had been brought into the building, had been removed. During the occupation a large number of items had been donated by the public to the Home Sweet Home coalition, the group that organised the occupation. All occupants had left Apollo House by 12 January. The legal action, in which the receivers sought orders to end what they described as an illegal trespass, had been adjourned several times to allow the removal of the items. The judge welcomed the news and struck out the proceedings with no order.
