Alleged hostel at Lucknow must be vacated immediately, High Court rules

Summary

The High Court ordered the immediate vacating of a residential property in Co Kildare that had been used as a hostel or camp for up to 40 people and as an illegal dump. The injunctions were directed against Victor Golis and all unknown residents at Lucknow, Dublin Road, Kildare, following concerns from the HSE, Kildare County Council and the Fire Safety Officer about health and safety risks. Michael McAteer, appointed receiver by the Bank of Ireland in 2013, claimed the property was occupied dangerously and posed a risk to occupants. Justice Paul Gilligan granted the injunctions, restraining the defendants from remaining on the site, interfering with McAteer or his agents, and requiring residents to remove their belongings. The orders remain pending until the full hearing, with proceedings against owner John Quinn adjourned for three weeks to allow his response.
