City property owners bring proceedings against alleged trespassers
Summary
The owners of a three‑storey Georgian building at 42 and 43 Blessington Street, Dublin 7, have filed a High Court application to remove unknown alleged trespassers. The property, owned by Deck Building Services DAC, KDM Construction Ltd and Clonmel Enterprises Ltd, had been vacant and is now intended to be converted into an apart‑hotel. Earlier this month, the owners claimed the premises was unlawfully occupied by several unknown persons. The locks were changed, and two occupants identified themselves as 'Oliver Rabbite' and 'Mouse'. They were asked to leave but asserted they had permission to stay, had no alternative accommodation and would not vacate. The owners argue the building is unsafe, does not meet building regulations, and planned works are needed for fire safety compliance. The court granted the owners permission to serve short notice to the occupants and the matter will return next week.
