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

Glen Oglesby was found in contempt and faces arrest for refusing to leave an ESB substation, the High Court ruled on 29 May 2024. The site is on Gloucester Place Upper in Dublin’s north inner city.

Mr Justice Mark Sanfey directed gardaí to arrest Mr Oglesby and bring him before the court. The ESB said he had failed to comply with earlier orders requiring him to leave the site. Mr Oglesby disputes the ESB’s claims and says he has nowhere else to go.

The judge said court orders must be obeyed and expressed hope that the matter could be resolved without arrest. Mr Oglesby was absent from court that day.
