Proceedings over original copy of Amhrán na bhFiann are adjourned
Summary
In a High Court case, Lorcan Bourke, a descendant of Peadar Kearney, has sought the return of an original signed copy of Amhrán na bhFiann and other items from the former Bourke's Bar in Limerick. The bar's premises were sold by receiver Anne O'Dwyer of Duff Phelps Ireland Ltd, and a new pub is set to open there. Bourke claims the receiver holds his items, including the anthem copy, two framed pictures of "The Fields of Athenry" and "Dublin in the Rare Auld Times" signed by composer Pete St. John, and seeks declarations that any sale of these items is void, along with damages. O'Dwyer denies possession of the items and has offered an undertaking not to dispose of any that may be in her care pending the hearing. Justice Caroline Costello adjourned the case for a month, allowing both parties to exchange documents and prepare further submissions.
