Housing activists occupying a Dublin city centre property are to be served with legal proceedings demanding they leave and deliver up “vacant possession” to the owner. Barrister Pádraig D Lyons told the High Court on Friday that a group had forcibly entered a four-storey Georgian building at 41 Belvedere Place, Dublin 1 on September 8th and were still trespassing. Judge Barr granted MJH Property Management short service of the company’s intention to seek High Court orders directing the group to vacate the premises and deliver up vacant possession. Mr Lyons told the court that certain developments had partially taken place to the two top storeys which, as a result, may be unstable. She asked that the proceedings be put into next Tuesday’s High Court list.
