Man settles High Court action restraining housing association from evicting him
Summary
In October 2023, Mr Paul McGrath of Mount Eagle Square, Sandyford, settled a High Court case that had sought to restrain the Tuath Housing Association from evicting him. McGrath had previously obtained an injunction after being accused of anti‑social behaviour, claiming instead that he was attacked while socialising at a neighbouring property and that he had sustained injuries. He argued that the landlord had no right to terminate his lease and that the eviction should be postponed until the Residential Tenancies Board could decide the dispute. The court had issued orders preventing the landlord and its agents from evicting or entering the premises pending that determination. On Friday, the parties reached a confidential settlement, and the court was instructed to strike out the case. No further details of the agreement were disclosed.
