Grangegorman dispute involving receiver and people allegedly remaining on-site adjourned for one week
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 12 May 2015, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan adjourned a receiver's application for the removal of occupants from several Grangegorman premises for one week. Receiver Luke Charleton, appointed by NAMA, sought to have people who allegedly remained on the site – estimated at 20 to 30 – removed, as the properties were ordered to be vacated by 5 May. Charleton's client, businessman Paschal Conroy, owes €21.9 million and the receiver wants to sell the properties to satisfy the debt. Mr Graham O'Doherty, the receiver's solicitor, now wishes to take possession but cannot do so while occupants remain. Two men, Stephen Bedford and Gréum Ná Hearadh, opposed the application and requested a stay pending the appeal. The judge refused to extend the stay, noting that the appeal is listed for 14 May in the Court of Appeal.
