Man brings case over rockfall from embankment
Summary
Paul Lynam of Weirview Gardens, Lucan, has filed a High Court case against Thomas Kelly of Weirview Cottages, Lucan, seeking orders to stop rock slides from a 36‑square‑metre embankment owned by Kelly that lies behind Lynam's property. Lynam says the embankment, 7–8 m high, has produced more rockfall recently, including a 100 kg boulder that fell in May and damaged his decking. An engineer he hired concluded that removing vegetation and installing an automatic watering system—attributed to Kelly—likely caused the increased rockfall. Lynam alleges that continued erosion could endanger his and neighbouring properties, potentially causing injury or death. He requests injunctions to compel Kelly to halt vegetation removal and the use of the watering system, and to prevent further deterioration of the embankment. The judge granted Lynam's lawyers permission to serve short notice of the injunction proceedings on Kelly and adjourned the matter for a week.
