The High Court ordered gardaí to arrest people accused of contempt over occupying a Dublin property on 6 July 2023.

The order concerned James McSweeney House on Berkeley Street, Dublin 7, owned by Cabhrú Housing Association, which provides housing for older people. The charity alleged the occupants had defied an earlier order to leave.

The judge was satisfied that efforts had been made to identify the occupants and serve them with the order. Cabhrú believed those in the building were members of the Revolutionary Housing League.

The application was adjourned to a date later that month. The order directed gardaí to bring the alleged contemnors before the High Court.
