Judge orders arrest of those occupying housing charity's property
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 6 July 2023, Mr Justice Conor Dignam granted an attachment order to the Cabhrú Housing Association, a charitable organisation that owns a Dublin property at James McSweeney House, Berkeley Street, Dublin 7. The order requires Gardaí to arrest and bring before the court all persons who are refusing to vacate the building, which has been illegally occupied since mid‑May. Cabhrú claims the occupants are members of a group called the Revolutionary Housing League and that the occupation is in contempt of a prior court order to leave. The charity has attempted to identify the occupants and serve them copies of the vacate order in six languages, but has been unable to do so because the occupants wear masks and have barricaded themselves inside.
