Summary

In a High Court hearing on 22 July 2014, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted a temporary injunction to the owners of a Dublin city centre property at No 6 Merrion Square, preventing Charlie Allen and his supporters from entering or approaching the premises. The owners, Claude Fettes, Annette Cooper and Marc Godart, alleged that Allen, who claims the Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust has an interest in the property, unlawfully forced his way in earlier that month and remained with several supporters, including a man with a large Alsatian dog, for several days. During the occupation, carpets were removed and the basement, used by a sound‑recording business, was blocked. Allen and his associates left the building last weekend, but the owners feared he might re‑enter, prompting the injunction. The order was granted ex‑parte and was adjourned to later that week.
