Property boundary dispute holding up construction of 74 houses, High Court hears

Summary

A High Court hearing on 24 July 2024 addressed a boundary dispute that is delaying the construction of 74 houses in Rush, Co Dublin. The developers – Fintan Price, Frank Wilson, Tom Phelan, Bernard Carroll and Laurance Schwer – have sued market gardener Mr Camillus Archer and his son Derek Archer. The partnership seeks an injunction to stop the Archers from trespassing or interfering with the planned works. The developers claim the Archers entered their land, erected concrete poles, and deposited steel waste. They also allege that the Archers removed boundary markers and accused the developers' agents of forging a 2015 map signature. The Archers deny all wrongdoing. The case, heard by Ms Justice Siobhan Stack, was granted a short‑notice injunction application, with a follow‑up hearing scheduled for next week. The dispute remains a civil matter, and the developers are pressing for immediate construction to resume.
