Summary

In a High Court case on 18 July 2019, River Dublin 1 SARL, owners of the Aparto student accommodation on Upper Dorset Street, obtained a temporary injunction against The Long Island Bar operator Mr Edward Walsh. The court heard that on 17 July, men associated with Walsh had crossed a boundary wall, erected wooden hoarding in the accommodation's yard, and blocked access to a bike shed. River Dublin claimed the hoarding unlawfully appropriated part of the yard. Walsh's solicitors alleged that the accommodation was trespassing on Walsh's leased property, a claim denied by River Dublin and unsupported by documentation. The injunction, granted ex‑parte by Justice Leonie Reynolds, prohibits Walsh, his servants and agents from trespassing on the accommodation, from removing the hoarding, and from reinstating fencing. It also bars Walsh from preventing the removal of the hoarding. The case is set to return to court next week.
