Garvagh Homes gets possession order over Dublin trespass

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

Garvagh Homes Limited obtained a High Court order lifting the stay on vacant possession of Dublin 7 properties on 30 December 2023.

The order required the entire site at 364-374 North Circular Road and 168-89 Phibsborough Road to be vacated immediately. The judge said he was satisfied that court orders had been breached; the properties appeared to have been vacated before the hearing.

The company had sought vacant possession so it could redevelop the properties into apartments and commercial units. Claims that the premises had been unlawfully occupied and used for events were contested; the ruling addressed the stay and alleged breaches, not a criminal conviction for trespass.
