Receiver secures injunction against anti-eviction activist and others
Summary
In a High Court case on 20 April 2016, a receiver appointed by AIB secured an injunction against anti‑eviction activist Ben Gilroy and several others to vacate a commercial premises at 131 D Slaney Road, Glasnevin. The receiver, Ken Fennell, had been appointed in October 2014 after AIB obtained a €2.18 million judgment against the property's owner, Christopher Noone. Fennell sought the injunction because he could not secure possession of the premises, which were occupied by Gilroy, Anderson Prado, Sylwia Waliszewska (trading as Sun Body Solarium), Paul O'Callaghan, Mariusz Jurkiewics and Arthur Fluskey. The court found that none of the occupants had provided evidence of lawful entitlement to the property and dismissed all arguments raised by Gilroy, including his claim of a contractual tenancy and the validity of Fennell's appointment. The injunction was granted, and the matter was adjourned for a week to allow both sides to consider the decision.
