Receiver launches action over "occupied" Dublin city property
Summary
In October 2018 a High Court hearing was held in Dublin where a bank‑appointed receiver, Declan Taite, sought vacant possession of 76 Pearse Street. Taite, who had been receiver since 2013, alleged that the property had been occupied by unknown persons since early September without lawful right. He claimed the occupants had changed the locks and moved in around 6 September, and that a blockade prevented the receiver's agents from entering. A banner reading "Pearse Street Occupation" was reportedly displayed outside. The receiver sought orders to stop trespassing and to recover possession. Justice Caroline Costello granted the receiver's lawyers permission to serve short notice to the occupants on an ex‑parte basis and adjourned the case to a date next week. The action is part of a series of High Court proceedings against occupants of vacant central Dublin properties used to highlight the homelessness crisis.
