Marlfield House owner claims alleged trespassers holding up restoration
Summary
Joshua Wilson, owner of Marlfield House near Clonmel, sued in the High Court to stop about ten alleged trespassers from occupying the historic Palladian house and its 33 acres. Wilson says the defendants, who claim valid tenancies, are blocking renovation work and causing damage by littering, blocking drains and damaging the roof. He purchased the property in October after receivership and has been unable to access parts of the house for repairs, including a collapsed ceiling that he says poses a danger. Wilson alleges the house was divided into 14 units and eight chalets were built without planning permission, and that no valid tenancy agreements exist under the 2007 mortgage clause. The court, hearing the case on Tuesday, granted Wilson permission to serve short‑notice injunction papers and adjourned the matter to January, allowing an earlier return if needed.
