Receiver secures injunction against landlord after media reports of evictions
Summary
A receiver appointed by a financial fund secured a High Court interim injunction against Mr Paul Howard and Ms Una McClean, owners of several Dublin properties, after media reports that tenants had been forcibly removed from an apartment in Mountjoy Square. The injunction, granted ex‑parte by Justice Caroline Costello, prohibits the defendants, their agents and anyone aware of the order from trespassing, damaging, collecting rent from, or taking possession of the properties. It requires them to hand over possession to the receiver. The receiver, Ken Fennell of Deloitte, was appointed by Promontoria (Oyster) DAC following unsuccessful debt negotiations over €1.4 million owed jointly by Howard and McClean and an additional €400 000 owed by Howard. The injunction was sought to prevent further interference with the receivership and to protect tenants' safety. The court will consider the matter again later this week.
