The Salvation Army regained Lefroy House after a contempt of court operation, reported on 9 June 2022.

The High Court had ordered occupants to vacate the Eden Quay property, which the charity plans to use for Ukrainian refugee accommodation.

Gardaí arrested Sean Doyle and Caoimhin O’Dhubhghaille after they failed to comply with the order; the building was returned to the charity.

The judge found both men in wilful and deliberate contempt but declined to commit them to prison at that hearing.
