Lorcan Bourke was granted permission to serve short notice in the High Court on 12 March 2018 in his case seeking the return of an original signed copy of Amhrán na bhFiann. The copy, dedicated by Peadar Kearney to Bourke’s grandfather, was described to the court as an important and extremely valuable family heirloom.

Bourke is also seeking orders preventing the receiver from selling items from his former pub in Catherine Street, Limerick, until the proceedings are resolved. The judge made no orders before both sides could be heard and returned the matter to Wednesday.
