Paul McGrath secured a temporary High Court injunction on 4 July 2023, preventing his eviction over alleged anti-social behaviour. The order also barred Tuath Housing Association and its agents from entering or occupying his home while the Residential Tenancies Board considers the disputed termination notice.

McGrath denied the allegations and said he was assaulted at a neighbouring property in early June. He argued that the notice gave him seven days to leave and that the landlord had not shown evidence he engaged in anti-social behaviour.

The injunction was granted ex parte by Ms Justice Eileen Roberts. She expressed concern about applications made at the last minute on one side’s account, but found sufficient evidence to grant the temporary orders; the matter was listed to return later that month.
