Receiver gets injunction over possession of "Dallas-style" mansion
Summary
In a High Court case, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted an injunction to a bank‑appointed receiver, George Maloney, giving him possession of the Grange House in Ballyboughal, Co. Dublin. The property, described as an "eight‑bedroom, Dallas‑style mansion" with a pool, helicopter hangar and bar, is owned by Jeremiah (Jerry) Donovan and his wife Bridget. The injunction, pending the dispute's final outcome, requires the Donovans to vacate the house by the close of business on Friday and to hand over vacant possession. The judge also ordered that the receiver work with an auctioneer appointed by the Donovans to sell the property. The Donovans opposed the application, arguing the house is their private residence and that the receiver has no right to possession or sale. The court noted the injunction could be reviewed at the full hearing. The injunction remains in force until the case is resolved.
