Royal College of Surgeons in row with neighbours over alleged right of way
Summary
The Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin (RCSI) has brought a fast‑track commercial court case against Sharon and Conor O'Malley, owners of apartments at Ardilaun Court, over an alleged right of way. The O'Malleys claim they have enjoyed uninterrupted rights of way across RCSI land for over 20 years and that the college's 2019 planning application to demolish an existing building and construct an €88m education and research facility at the Ardilaun Centre threatened those rights. They allege the RCSI's denial of the rights was motivated by spite and aimed to intimidate them from participating in the planning process. The O'Malleys seek orders confirming their right of way, preventing interference, and directing the Property Registration Authority to register the right and award damages. The RCSI, represented by Esmond Keane SC, argues the case is commercial and seeks to avoid delays that would affect its financing of the redevelopment.
