Summary

A man from County Wexford, John Kinsella, was released from custody at the Four Courts after agreeing to comply with High Court orders that prohibit him from trespassing on or approaching within 100 metres of lands in County Wexford. The orders, issued against him by the plaintiff John B. Dockrell Ltd, also restrain him from interfering with the plaintiff's quiet enjoyment of the property, blocking entrances, or impeding access. Kinsella, who was not represented at the hearing, was granted a two‑week adjournment of attachment and committal proceedings by Justice Caroline Costello after he gave a sworn undertaking to comply with the orders until the matter returns before the Court. The adjournment was set for 10 August, and Kinsella was released on the condition that he adhere to the orders until that date. The case remains pending before the Court.
