Summary

In a High Court hearing on 19 March 2019, Judge Senan Allen warned Martina Harty and Dermot Calvert that they faced imprisonment if they failed to vacate a semi‑detached house on Mossgrove Avenue, Caherdavin Heights, Limerick within two weeks. The property, in receivership, had been ordered by the court in April 2018 to be vacated, and a motion for committal to prison was brought by Gearoid Costelloe, the receiver appointed by IBRC. The judge noted that the couple had previously been given several deadlines to comply and that the house had been occupied by persons without the receiver's consent. Harty and Calvert, who represented themselves, gave sworn undertakings to leave the premises within the next fortnight. Judge Allen cautioned them that non‑compliance could result in contempt of court and possible imprisonment. The case was scheduled to return in early April.
