Proceedings launched against alleged occupiers of "Barricade Inn"
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 20 October 2015, the owners of a former guesthouse on Parnell Street in Dublin City Centre sought an injunction to remove squatters who had taken over the premises and were operating a cafe and social club called the Barricade Inn. The property, comprising part of No. 76 and all of Nos. 77 and 78, had been vacant since the death of former owner Ms Ellen McGuill in 2002. Lawyers for the executrix of Ms McGuill's estate and for Vandelure Ltd, the freehold holder, argued that the building was "extremely dangerous" and unsafe for occupation, citing unknown electricity supply and possible unauthorized works. They requested that the court restrain all occupiers from trespassing, cease interference, hand over vacant possession, and remove all items from the premises.
