Quad-bike joyriding, refuse and animals brought onto chip manufacturer's campus, High Court told
Summary
Xilinx Ireland, a semiconductor manufacturer based at Citywest Business Campus in Saggart, Dublin 24, brought High Court proceedings against persons unknown, including Mr Aaron McDonagh, alleging illegal trespass. The company claims that between 25 and 30 caravans were towed onto its campus without authorization. Xilinx alleges the occupants have interfered with the site's fire sprinkler water pump, posing a serious safety risk, and have engaged in quad-bike joyriding, dumped refuse, and brought animals onto the premises. The company stated that despite Garda involvement and negotiations, the occupants refused to leave, though they promised to vacate by 9pm on Wednesday, June 15. Counsel for Xilinx, Stephen Byrne BL, indicated the company was prepared to wait until this deadline expired before seeking an interim injunction to avoid inflaming the situation. Mr Justice Brian O'Moore heard the matter on an ex-parte basis. He granted permission to serve short notice of the proceedings on Mr McDonagh and the other persons unknown, directing that service occur only if the defendants failed to leave as promised. The judge described the proposed course of action as sensible and adjourned the matter to Friday's sitting of the court.
