Hotel's injunction over night time horn being complied with, court told

Summary

In a High Court hearing on 26 July 2023, Mr Justice Brian O'Moore confirmed that the temporary injunction issued last week against three owners of luxury holiday lodges near the Johnstown Estate hotel was largely complied with. The injunction, which restrains the use of sirens, airhorns, alarms or power generators that produce loud noise near the hotel, was obtained after the hotel stopped supplying electricity and water to the lodges. The court heard that the siren's noise had ceased and that signs criticizing the hotel's owner had been removed. Two of the defendants, David Godwin and Martin Kennedy, who appeared in court, offered written undertakings to comply with most terms, though no undertakings were offered regarding their generators. Mr Justice O'Moore said he would continue the injunction on the generators and urged a compromise, while the third defendant, Peter Wilson, was absent and the orders against him were maintained. The matter was adjourned to August.
