'Makeshift camp' and piebald ponies at historic landed house, High court hears
Summary
The High Court heard that Knocklofty House, a protected 18th‑century landed house outside Clonmel, is being illegally occupied by unknown persons in four caravans and a makeshift camp. The occupants have set up a camp that includes up to 20 piebald ponies, chickens and dogs housed in wooden structures, and have left a significant amount of debris on the site. The camp is described as unsightly and potentially dangerous to humans and animals. Chartered Accountant Ken Fennell, acting as receiver for the property after a settlement with former owner Denis English, seeks court orders directing the unknown occupants to vacate and cease interfering with the property. Mr Justice Brian O'Moore granted Mr Fennell permission to serve notice to the occupants and the case is scheduled to return to court next week.
