This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Tom Morrin was ordered to appear before the High Court over an alleged breach of court orders. The proceedings were reported on 14 December 2018.

The orders required him to vacate 50 acres at Caragh, Naas, County Kildare, and remove machinery and livestock.

Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds found him in breach and dismissed applications challenging the receiver’s proceedings and access to the land.

The receiver sought his attachment so he could answer the alleged ongoing contempt, while Morrin opposed the application and disputed the claims. The judge noted that he did not dispute that he remained in occupation of the land, in breach of the order.

The judge directed that the attachment order be sent to the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána, with the case due back before the High Court the following week.
