Summary

KBC bank has sought an expedited hearing of its High Court application for an injunction requiring three siblings to vacate their home near Strokestown, County Roscommon. The bank seeks an order for Michael Anthony, David and Geraldine McGann to leave the property at Falsk, which was subject to a possession order obtained in 2012. Michael Anthony McGann is alleged to have fallen into arrears on a loan totalling approximately €431,000, with the last repayment recorded in February 2014. The eviction was executed in 2018 and subsequently gained national attention following a security incident. David and Geraldine McGann have opposed the application through their legal representatives. David McGann has separately commenced related proceedings challenging the validity of the possession order's execution. Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds adjourned KBC's injunction application for two weeks, indicating that no hearing date would be fixed until relevant documents were exchanged and the case was ready to proceed.
