The Ward siblings secured a temporary injunction over alleged trespass at the High Court, reported on 12 March 2024. The dispute concerned land at Clonee, Co Meath, earmarked for a proposed data centre.

The Echo reported that Bernard, Lorcan, Nicola and Patrica Ward owned the 2.5-acre site and obtained an order restraining neighbour Mannix Coyne from accessing it or placing horses there. The court heard the Wards said his actions risked a confidential sale agreement, and that the site was due to be handed over with vacant possession later that month.

The injunction was temporary and followed an urgent application heard from the plaintiffs’ side only. The report said the judge adjourned the matter to a later date that month.
