Dublin City Council gets Bolton Street works order

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Dublin City Council secured a High Court order against Seamus Farrell and Aisling Hedderman on 28 July 2015 over works at 38/39 Bolton Street, Dublin. The order barred further works, while a court-authorised inspection was carried out by council services. The council’s application to have the premises vacated was adjourned until 18 August.

The High Court declined orders preventing further residents from entering the buildings or requiring the defendants to identify people inside, saying those orders would be difficult to enforce. The council had separately engaged Novas Initiative about renovating the buildings for homeless accommodation, according to the report.
