Students to be allowed return to rented house

Summary

Four students renting a property at Lifford Park, South Circular Road, Limerick have been granted the right to return to their home following a High Court ruling. Ms Justice Marie Baker extended an injunction requiring the property owner to hand over possession to a bank-appointed receiver. The students had been required to leave by the property owner and spent two nights in hotel accommodation at the receiver's expense before the court intervened. The ruling emerged from a dispute between the property owner and Karl O'Neill, a KPMG receiver appointed by AIB in 2016. The property owner contested the validity of the receiver's appointment and the circumstances surrounding the students' removal. The judge found the receiver's appointment valid, subject to determination at a full hearing of the underlying dispute. Rent payments will be held in trust pending the final outcome of the case. The matter was adjourned for one month.
