Housing charity to renew contempt application over occupation of Dublin property

Summary

Cabhrú Housing Association, which provides housing for older people, will renew a High Court application to obtain orders for the attachment and committal of those unlawfully occupying its property at James McSweeney House, Berkeley Street, Dublin 7. The charity says the building was taken over last month by unknown persons it believes belong to the Revolutionary Housing League, an organisation that has previously occupied other Dublin properties. Cabhrú had earlier secured a High Court order directing the occupants to vacate, but the judge refused to order Gardaí to arrest the occupants due to insufficient evidence of their identities and a lack of proof that all occupants had been notified of the vacate order. The charity has since attempted to identify the occupants, distributing the court order in six languages and monitoring entries and exits.
