Salzagold Limited secured a High Court injunction requiring people occupying its Graigcullen lands to leave, after a ruling reported on 27 July 2022.

The company said it wants to develop the Co Laois site for housing and other facilities serving nearby Carlow Town.

The judge said he was concerned by claims of tree felling without proper health and safety measures, refuse burning and joyriding on the property.

The injunction is to remain in place pending the outcome of the hearing; no person occupying the lands appeared or was represented when the matter was before the court.
