Descendant of Peader Kearney seeks return of original copy of Amhrán na bhFiann
Summary
A descendant of Peadar Kearney, Lorcan Bourke, has filed High Court proceedings against receiver Anne O'Dwyer of Duff Phelps Ireland Ltd, seeking the return of valuable items that were displayed in Bourke's Bar on Catherine Street, Limerick, until its closure in 2014. The items include an original signed copy of Amhrán na bhFiann, dedicated by Kearney to Bourke's grandfather, and other autographed memorabilia. Bourke, represented by Richard Kean SC and Gareth Robinson Bl, argues that the receiver took control of the premises after the landlord's debts were acquired by Penture Property Finance DAC. He claims the items were removed without permission and may be sold by the receiver. Bourke seeks injunctions to prevent sale, declarations that any sale is void, and damages. The case was granted ex‑parte notice and is set to return to the court on Wednesday.
